Wow -- those are good prices! I paid $600 for a 34 gal. (28 usable) tank 
from Manchester Tank. Big fat cylindrical truck type "drop tank".

Believe me, you want the biggest huge-ass tank you can possibly fit in the 
car. If your car gets 16mpg gasoline, perfectly well-tuned it will get 
about 13.6mpg on propane. Since there isn't exactly a propane filling 
station on every corner you want the hugest range you can possibly get.

The "usable" business is the gas space required for liquid expansion with 
temperature. 20%.
