It's not the cost of the gas that matters if your a hobby user. It's the rental. If you start a project that involved a HEAP of welding, go hire a bottle for a month to use cheaper gas, then return it when done.

I also have the issue of no refill places so I have to rent a bottle for the mig and a bottle for the homebrew.
The rental costs are not cheap.
