Bent Measuring Stick

(If you remember swapping a grill tank without thinking twice.)

Propane Grill Tank Refill (1995 → 2025)

1995 Price — Refilling a standard 20-lb propane grill tank typically cost $10–$12.

2025 Price — The same refill now commonly runs $25–$35, roughly a 2.5–3× increase to cook the same burgers on the same backyard grill.

Inflation has a way of showing up where leisure meets routine, quietly revising the cost of ordinary weekends. And when the measuring stick bends, even simple pleasures shared outdoors begin to ask for more of the hours we traded to earn them.
