Depends on where you get it filled (actually switched out). My cost is $68.00 for a 250 cubic foot tank of argon from my LWS. My 125 cubic foot tank cost me $40 to fill. For $28 more, I get twice the gas with my 250 so it is a no brainer plus I don't have the rental fee to pay as I own the tank. So I save $13 every other fill up which adds up after a while. I was going through a tank every other week with the 125 and now it is once a month with the 250. I was using the argon for my Hobart Handler 210 with spool gun to weld aluminum. Now that I have the Powertig 250EX, that is my main aluminum machine now. I was also using the Cobra 2000 torch for some thin steel welding but now the Powertig 250 is the machine for that too. So my argon use has exploded. Still cheaper though than buying acetylene and oxygen.
