Big propane companies sticking it to consumers

How much propane does a 20Lb grill bottle hold? 20 Lbs aka 4.7 gallons right? Wrong,well depending on where you refill/exchange,it might only hold 15Lbs or 4 gallons.
Here's the explaination (in Tx at least). All the convinuence stores and other bottle exchanges have 15Lbs of fuel in tanks. Their reason if asked is "because it's the law". "The law"came about because the Railway Commision forbids a truck to carry more than xxxx pounds of fuel in small bottles. Just so happens that if you fill every slot on truck with full bottles,it will be overweight. The solution,fill the bottles to 15 instead of 20 and you are on the money. Railway Commision rules override state and federal law. The mom and pop must fill bottles on site to 20Lbs to avoid deceptive trade pratice charges. End result is the consumer can exchange bottles cheaper than they can get refills which chips away at mom and pop's volume and profit. Slick ????
