Best we have found were 6.15 Euro for an exchange in La Gomera and about 3.50 Euro in Mindelo, Cape Verde. That's about 10% of the UK price. Looks like UK customers are getting ripped off.

Thanks everyone for your input. Didn't realise you can de-cant from a large cylinder into a small. Thought you'd be hit with all sorts of H & S stuff. Will look into this. has anyone got more details on doing this??

27 euro in France today (Bigship) cheaper in supermarchè but would have been further to carry.

There's quite a distinction in price between places that just get the bottles refilled at a a local plant (Around €10-€12 in Greece) to getting the bottle refilled yourself (€6 in Sicily) to places (mostly western Europe) where the bottles are shipped back to CG where they are refurbished and refilled (€20-€40 depending on country).
Replacement bottles in France and Spain are usually shiny and new, whilst bottles obtained in Italy and Greece are often looking somewhat worse for wear.
Still rip-off prices in the UK and France, but there is a difference in the service being provided.

Buy the pipes/valves from BES for about £10
Do the transfer in the open air, get a large Calor bottle on eBay and use that to top up your bottles
it will save you loads of money.

How do you private someone now? I've tried sending a private message to Fred but it just won't work for some reason.

A smidge over £30 in April in St Mary's, Scilly. Wasn't impressed having been paying about £22 the previous year but from reading this thread it seems like that's fairly standard.

Camping Gas who`s bottles are refilled in England by Calor is a total rip-off. many boat owners have little choise as the design of their boats have small gas lockers that are designed for CG ony
Why dont the sailing, camping & caravan mags do an investigation into gas prices, take CG to task

Intermarche, especially the bigger ones, usually have them for sale and/or exchange.
If you can find a Bricomarche, (sometimes next to each other), although they are the same company, they often charge a few € less!

Thirty three quid for an exchange 907 at my local builders' merchants last week. That's very close to half what they charge for a 47kg cylinder of propane. It's only a mild irritant, though, because the cost of gas (I get through 1 1/2 907s per year on average) is a trivially small part of the cost of running the boat.
