Default What do you pay for a size 160 tank of argon?

I feel like I'm taking it in the *** when I exchange my tank ( I own it) so I'm curious what the rest of you guys are paying. After a couple of replies I'll let you know what it cost me today.

That's about what I pay! Seems like a raping but hey what do I know.
My fill broke down as follows:
Argon size 160 $71.99
Cylinder maintenance $1.00
Hazardous materials charge $4.02 <--Is this a cleaning/chemical thing or what? Argon as we all know is inert and hardly hazardous unless they consider it so because it's pressurized.
Tax $5.20
Total = $82.21
I purchased a full tank from them originally and iirc it was somewhere between $255 and $280. Of course I own the tank and just swap out for a "new" full tank when needed for the $82.21 listed above.
