Importance of propane.

I just thought I'd explain the importance of the propane tanks. You might think we do a lot of grilling - because that's what you use propane tanks for back in the States. Well, it's a little more than that. We have a grill size propane tank in our cabinet next to the stove and that is what we use to cook with. The oven and the stove top, of course, run off that little tank. We have found that it lasts about a month. I like to get my moneys worth but hate running out in the middle of cooking - or at the beginning. The really scary thing is that we only have one (We are trying to get a second one but it's not that easy.) and there is not an endless supply of tanks at our local Wal-Mart. So if the stores in the area have no full tanks, you can't swap your empty one. I just heard that they have just received tanks at Tina's grocery store tonight. So the question is... Do I get a new one tomorrow even though I'm not out of gas yet or do I chance it and wait so that I get my money's worth and then hope there is still a tank somewhere to be mine? I'll probably call the Taxi service tomorrow - the taxi driver will come pick up my tank, take it to the store to switch it and bring me the full one and it will cost me an extra $15 EC, which comes to $5.62 in US dollars. Totally worth it to me.
