| 40 pounds | 9.4 gallons |
To use an LP gas fee calculator, you need to know the size of your propane tank. Refer to the table above to determine the size of your tank in gallons.
### Step 2: Estimate Your Usage Rate
| Usage Rate | Gallons per Hour |
|---|---|
| Light usage | 0.5-1 gallon/hour |
| Moderate usage | 1-2 gallons/hour |
| Heavy usage | 2-3 gallons/hour |
Estimate your usage rate based on your camping style and appliances. This will help you determine how much LP gas you’ll use per hour.
### Step 3: Enter Fuel Prices
| Fuel Type | Average Price (USD) |
|---|---|
| Propane | $2.50-$4.00 per gallon |
Enter the current fuel prices for propane in your area. You can check fuel prices online or at your local propane refill station.
### Step 4: Calculate Your LP Gas Fees
Using an LP gas fee calculator, enter the following information:

The calculator will provide an estimate of your LP gas fees for a specific duration, such as a day, week, or month.
Real-Life Example:
During my last RV trip, I used an LP gas fee calculator to estimate my costs. I have a 30-pound propane tank, which is equivalent to 7.1 gallons. I estimated my usage rate to be moderate, around 1.5 gallons per hour. With an average fuel price of $3.25 per gallon, the calculator estimated my LP gas fees to be around $25 per day. By using the calculator, I was able to budget accurately and avoid any unexpected expenses.
Tips and Tricks:
- Monitor Your Usage: Keep an eye on your LP gas usage to refine your estimates and optimize your fuel consumption.
- Adjust for Seasonality: Fuel prices can vary depending on the season. Adjust your estimates accordingly to ensure accuracy.
- Consider Alternative Options: If you’re planning a long trip, consider investing in a propane tank upgrade or exploring alternative fuel options.
