I'm with you though, I'd never go away from gas unless I absolutely had to. I have propane at the house. I contract 600 gallons every year, and that heats the house, and fuels the dryer, hot water heater, and oven/range. At $1.30/gallon, I'm happy with that being my annual cost for that.
The only down side is when you buy appliances, you just need to make sure they send new jets necessary to burn propane instead of natural gas. I just bought a new waster/dryer setup and I'm waiting for the conversion kit in the mail that the dick at NFM said was definitely with it.

Good to know. I wasn't aware the appliances needed anything different from a normal gas appliance. The next door neighbor has a 500G and said it's been plenty. They moved in and had it filled last Aug. He checked it when I was over there the other day and it was still at 60% capacity and that was after our brutal winter.
As far as not burying it....not a chance in hell my wife would let it stay above ground. And I don't think the neighborhood would allow it either.
