I'm waiting for my E size cylinder to run out and then I'll be returning it for the Bunnings/total tools option.
I currently rent from supagas and unless you go through alot it's not really worth the quarterly rental charges. The convenience is I can ring up and they bring a new one to me while I'm at work.

I’d enquire at a BOC store too. Their pricing is now much more competitive than it was.

Shall do. The $200 refundable deposit at Bunnings seems a bit steep if I'll always have a bottle of gas at home. Thanks.

I use e size bottles (and need to look at my pricing) but it’s good to see they’re competitive. I’ve seen some of the promotions they’ve been doing for the new pricing models.
