I called Thrifty Propane and requested price for delivery (I own the tank and buy from lowest price seller - Thrifty used in the past).  Thrifty quoted $2.40/gallon (website now quotes 2.839/gallon).  I told them I had a Farrel gas quote of $1.79/gallon and requested price beat as listed on web site as follows:

Guaranteed lowest price: find a lower unconditional price, we will beat it by 10 cents per gallon. Open 24-7-365.

I was told I would get a call back.  3 days later, nothing.  I entered a chat with a representative, who again confirmed the price beat offer, and said I would be called.  I told her I was still waiting.  She said they would call.  Still no call, a week later.

Transcript of chat follows:

 

Thanks, one moment please.
Charlotte says:
  Thank you for waiting name. For your tank, you will need 192 gallons. The price for propane today is $2.409 per gallon. Would you like to place an order?
I says:
  I have a quote of 1.79 from farrel gas
Charlotte says:
  Thanks for the information. I can have an advisor contact you directly to assist you further on pricing. Would that be ok?
I says:
  I am still waiting for such a call from 3 days ago
I says:
  is this just a delay, and you have no intention of honoring your webtsite offer
Charlotte says:
  I'm sorry you feel that way Stephen. I can have an advisor contact you shortly. Is this your contact info (removed)

I says:
  yes. but they gotta do it quick. Or I call farrel and notify PUCO or some other regulatory agency about this.
I says:
  thanks
Charlotte says:
  Thank you. Please expect an advisor to contact you as soon as one becomes available. Is there anything else I can help you with?
I says:
  No. thanks again
Charlotte says:
  You're welcome! It was nice chatting with you today. Have a great weekend!

 

Farrell deliverd today at 1.60/gallon.
