Why Join?
Save money. Great service. No surprises.
On any given day, the price customers pay for propane varies greatly...and unfairly. One person might be charged $1.99 per gallon, another $3.20, and a third $5.00! All on the same day, in the same area, for the same product. Take the mystery out of propane pricing - join The Propane Collective.

​​Member Benefits Include:
Purchasing Power
The Propane Collective uses its collective bargaining power to negotiate a volume rate for its members.
​
As a member of the Collective, you pay a negotiated flat rate (margin) over our supplier's cost for propane.
While the cost of propane naturally fluctuates from day-to-day, your margin doesn't change.
​
No questionable "retail" rates; no "first fill" or "summer specials" designed to get your business.
Just low, year-round pricing that is transparent and verifiable.

Reliable Service
The Propane Collective has chosen
InterState Propane as its exclusive supplier.
​
InterState Propane is a partner company of InterState Oil, a mid-size, family-owned company in business since 1970.
​
Unlike larger propane companies, when you call InterState, you get a real person based right here in California. And unlike smaller ones, InterState has the infrastructure and capability to service our "Collective" needs.
​
InterState's size and service-oriented focus make it a great fit for our small but growing Collective.

Membership in The Propane Collective is available for residents and business owners in much of El Dorado, Placer, Nevada, and Sacramento counties. Check our Service Area Map to see if your area is covered.
