Yeah Zip, mine is a 300 gallon tank but I never let it get below 50% because of the amount to refill. 2150 sq feet here. We use some electric oil filled heaters in the house to supplement when it is really cold. Just bought this house a couple years ago and have been working to get it more energy efficient, 100 gallons a month isn't cutting it. It's a crawl space house and I had the underneath shot with expanding foam. That helped quite a bit.
Got spoiled with the mild winter last couple years and the cheap gas prices.

Hey Curtis, do you by chance have a Tractor Supply store near you? The reason i ask is that they fill propane bottles cheap, i know you can buy a 100 gal/pound tank from Lowes for $127.00, and in Batesville Tractor Supply will fill any tank that you bring in for about $1.75 per gal, i know several people who are doing this. That's what the price was in late 2013.
I have a rented tank, and the people that it's rented from wanted $2.75 per gal. so i didn't put any into the tank. The only reason that i'm out is becase i rented the place to a friend of a friend and he screwed me over leaving a light bill and water bill, plus he burned up all the propane that i had (over 100 gal) and skipped town, screwing me over.
Anyway just food for thought, because winter is not over for you or me.
