Calor lightweight propane

[hymerman1]

Can anyone confirm that the price of the lightweight propane is over £18 compared with the £16 for the standard 6Kg propane.

If this is the case is not extorbitant. Surely a one off extra charge would have recouped the investment?

hymerman, your figures are correct, and imho a small price to pay for less noseweight when you have a swift group van.

I use maybe 2 bottles a year so

Totally agree trucker, plus saves on my back while lifting into the gas box.

its consumer choice, the standard bottles are still available so no one is forced to but the light bottles. I agree with the above posts, I use around 2 bottles of gas a year and think the extra costs is little price for the beneifit. Had Calor increased all bottles I would have agreed but as the old bottles are still available at the lower price I can see no problem

And, of course the lightweights do have a built-in gauge which is useful.

Its worth paying the extra price , they are so light, no more strained back muscles trying to manover them into the front locker, also the onboard guage is great.
