I paid 91-50 euros in late September and I would expect that it has gone up again since :(

We always use Eletrolago Gas and paid 84,40 last month. They will all be about the same price but the service these guys offer is second to none. Their number is 282 352 415

Paid €89.40 to Alagoagas this afternoon - the same I have been paying since June. We're getting through a bottle a fortnight now.

I'm waiting for my Gas Tank to be installed and see that drop to €32 per equivalent bottle :)

That seems like an awful lot of gas to us! At home we average a bottle every 5-6 months, OK we are hardly ever there as we are working, but even in our restaurant, we only average about a bottle a month. I would maybe suggest that you have someone check for gas leaks.

The gas heats the water and having had visitors since June taking an average of 5 showers a day - it doesn't take long for the gas to go. It also provides the central heating and that's been on in recent weeks. I won't even mention the water bills.

There's no gas leaks - just heavy usage :(

Our last bill in September 2010 was 82.40 euros for 45kg bottle of propano. (previous to that Sept 2009 it was 65 euros, big increase, we have an account & pay our bill annually)Our gas suppliers are based in Purgatorio/ Paderne/Albufeira area which is a longish way from Carvoeiro, but I do believe they deliver up to and around the Lagoa area. Used them for 7 years now and not found anyone else as competative as they are for price.
