my first tank was a 15 lb. It cost me $40 full (used tank). After that was empty I exchanged for a 20 lb tank for $35 (total, handed over the 15 lb tank and $35, and received a 20 lb).

With the bigger the tank, the initial cost is more compared to a smaller tank, but you will spend waaaaay less $$ in the end with a bigger tank. Here, a 5 lb tank will cost about $15 to fill, but a 20 lb tank will cost about $25 to fill. You get 4 times more gas for $10 more.

sounds about right. Airgas sold me a 20# tank for about $100 and told me that the fill up was free. What's funny is that it costs me exactly the same amount to fill a 5# as it does to fill the 20#.

There's nothing really "funny" about that. Most of the cost of filling a cylinder is the labor, not the gas.
