About PropanePricePerGallon.com
This site publishes one thing well: what a gallon of propane costs in the United States, from the government survey that actually measures it, with the date attached to every number.
Who publishes this site
PropanePricePerGallon.com is published by Digital Signet Limited, a company based at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. Digital Signet runs a portfolio of reference sites that each track a single public dataset. This one is edited by Oliver Wakefield-Smith, who writes the interpretive sections against the EIA data file; the price series itself is pulled by script, not typed by hand.
We are not a propane dealer, broker, reseller or lead generator. We are not affiliated with any propane supplier, distributor or trade association, and we do not sell reader details to any of them.
Where the numbers come from
Every headline price on this site traces back to a named public series, and the figure you see is the figure that series last published, not an estimate of it.
| Layer | Source | Latest reading |
|---|---|---|
| US residential retail | EIA Weekly Heating Oil and Propane Survey, series W_EPLLPA_PRS_NUS_DPG | $2.598/gal, week ending 5 October 2026 |
| State residential retail | The same EIA survey, per state | 38 states published weekly |
| Residential supplier wholesale | EIA series W_EPLLPA_PWR_NUS_DPG | $1.054/gal, week ending 5 October 2026 |
| Mont Belvieu spot | EIA daily NGL spot series, Mont Belvieu TX | $0.919/gal, October 6, 2026 |
| Forecast | EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook, quoted with its issue date | See the forecast page |
EIA collects the residential propane price every Monday from October through March and, on paper, on the second Monday of each month from April through September; in practice it published all six off-season months in 2024, only April and May in 2025, and none in 2026. So in a year like 2026 the retail figure on this site is the last published reading from late March, and it is labelled with its week. We do not quietly roll it forward. The Mont Belvieu spot price runs year-round and is the freshest signal available in the off-season. The full pipeline, including what is fetched by script and what is updated by hand, is written out on the methodology page.
How this site is funded
There is no display advertising, no affiliate link and no sponsored placement anywhere on this site. No supplier pays for coverage, and nobody can buy a change to a published price. The site is paid for by its publisher. If that ever changes, the privacy page and the methodology page will say so before anything runs.
What we will not do
- Invent a price. If no public source publishes a figure, we say so instead of estimating one. There is no propane price published at ZIP-code level anywhere, so we route you to your state average and tell you to get local quotes.
- Invent a forecast. The only forward-looking numbers here are quoted from the EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook with the issue date attached.
- Rank suppliers. We describe how the major suppliers price, and we do not publish a "best supplier" list.
- Pass your details to a dealer. Reader price reports are aggregated and are never sold on as leads.
Corrections
If a number here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and date the fix. Email questions@propanepricepergallon.com. Corrections that change a published figure are listed in the revision history on the methodology page.
