It's $24.99 for 5 gal. here in the triad.Tractor Supply sells 5 gal cans of undyed 1-K kerosene for about $40. 1-K burns cleaner and has less odor than the dyed kerosene at the gas stations so extends the wick life between dry burning, but is more expensive.

I don't consider five bucks a gallon to be reasonable. Kerosene prices have always been a rip off at the corner store..Thanks for all the feedback! It is nice to know Tractor Supply has it for a reasonable price as well.
Never hard of anything running kerosene on the road since the early 1920's. Now diesel (#2 fuel oil) is a different storyBack when I was heavily interested in antique kerosene lamps and heaters, it was suggested that Agricultural kerosene, which isn’t taxed and consequently doesn’t require the dye, could be a good source for kerosene.
It’s supposed to be significantly cheaper.
BTW, the consensus back in the day was that the additives in road kerosene were not good for Aladdin lamps and Aladdin heaters. I know the dye definitely screwed up a wick and permanently stained an antique lamp. I won’t use the road stuff.
