The propane tank trade in is still expensive where I live and they only fill to 15 lbs. It was cheaper for me to buy a second tank and have it filled at my convenience at a local propane depot. Also they fill to nearly 20 lbs. and do top offs if I’m having a big cookout and want two full tanks.
“The propane tank trade in is still expensive where I live and they only fill to 15 lbs.”
My local vendor fills it to 20 for $16 last time I did it. I’ve got three 20 pound tanks and one 80 pound tank. I make it a point to trade them in once a year. That way I’ve always got “new” tanks.
I’m curious as to why it’s different in Ohio. Any thoughts?

Where I live in Oregon, retailers just fill the tank. The price locally is $2.59/gallon. Twenty-two miles away, at the local dealers yard, the price is only $1.69/gallon.
They get all their propane trucked in from the western terminus of one of the major pipelines in Bend, Oregon. That is 120 miles away, over the Cascade Mtn passes.
No, their tanker truck has never had an accident, and blown up.
