About Propane Services in Anthony, TX/NM
Anthony is a unique dual-state community straddling the Texas–New Mexico border along Interstate 10, roughly midway between El Paso and Las Cruces. The town literally sits on both sides of the state line — Anthony, TX on the south side of the border and Anthony, NM on the north — with I-10 running through the center and connecting both communities to the same commercial strip. This positioning gives residents access to suppliers in both states, and prices can occasionally differ between the two sides due to different distribution networks and state regulations.
Anthony's location on I-10 also makes it a propane stop for RV travelers making the run between El Paso and Las Cruces. Fuel stops along the I-10 frontage roads stock exchange cages for quick traveler fills, while local residents typically use dedicated refill stations for better per-gallon value. Because Anthony draws from both the El Paso and Las Cruces supplier networks, there are more options within a short drive than the town's small size might suggest.
Frequently Asked Questions – Propane in Anthony
Does it matter whether I buy propane on the Texas side or New Mexico side in Anthony?
It can make a small difference. Propane distribution and pricing occasionally varies between Anthony TX and Anthony NM due to different supplier routes serving each side of the state line. Texas and New Mexico have different fuel tax structures that can affect retail propane prices. In practice the difference is often minor — a few cents per gallon — but on a large fill it may be worth checking both sides. The listings on this page include suppliers from both states so you can compare before committing to one location.
How much does propane cost in Anthony TX/NM?
Propane refill prices in Anthony typically range from $3.00 to $4.50 per gallon, broadly consistent with the El Paso–Las Cruces corridor. Anthony benefits from being between two mid-sized cities, which keeps supplier competition reasonably healthy. Prices on the NM side occasionally differ slightly from the TX side due to state-level factors. During peak winter heating season, prices across both sides of the state line tend to rise — calling ahead to confirm the current rate is always a good idea before making the trip.
Is Anthony a good place to fill an RV propane tank on I-10?
Yes — Anthony is one of the more practical RV propane stops on I-10 between El Paso and Las Cruces. The 40-mile stretch between the two cities has limited services, so Anthony's I-10 frontage road fuel stops are a logical place to top off before heading into more rural territory. Several local suppliers can fill RV coach tanks (ASME-stamped), which exchange programs won't accept. Call ahead to confirm pull-through access if you're driving a large Class A or fifth wheel.
Where can I exchange a propane tank in Anthony?
Exchange cages (Blue Rhino, AmeriGas) are found at fuel stops and convenience stores along the I-10 frontage roads on both the TX and NM sides of Anthony. These are primarily aimed at travelers passing through on I-10. Use the "Exchange" filter in the listings above to find specific cage locations. No appointment is needed — bring your empty tank and swap it for a pre-filled one. If you're a local resident, a refill station will almost always give you better value than an exchange cage.
Can I get large or agricultural propane tanks filled near Anthony?
Yes. Suppliers in Anthony and the broader I-10 corridor between El Paso and Las Cruces can fill larger tanks (100 lb and above). Anthony's position between two regional supply hubs means access to both Texas-licensed and New Mexico-licensed propane dealers. Some locations offer delivery to both the TX and NM sides of the community. Contact the specific supplier to confirm which tank sizes they accommodate and whether delivery is available to your address — state licensing requirements can occasionally affect which suppliers serve which side of the line.
