You are surprised that they want some income from their investment in a tank????? You did not mention what the rent was either.
The local COOP here charges $45 per year if you don't use more than 300 gallons. That is still not a very good return on a tank that will cost $2 a gallon new.
So if you have a 500 gallon tank they have $1000 in the tank. So the $45 dollars is a 4.5% return gross. Not going to be buying a lot of new tanks for that type of return.

I find it amazing that your supprised that they want to sell gas not just give out tanks.
