Regional patterns in the data

The persistent ranges in the table reflect three structural factors that EIA documents in its Heating Oil and Propane Update: distance from the Mont Belvieu hub (Gulf Coast pays close to wholesale, the Northeast pays the most), regional inventory levels going into October, and distribution density (the more rural the customer base, the longer the tanker truck routes). Iowa and Wisconsin run well below the national average because of co-op distribution networks; North Carolina and Pennsylvania run well above because of long pipeline-end hauling distances.

Texas is the apparent outlier: despite sitting at the wholesale hub, residential prices in Texas track close to the national average. The reason is rural-distribution distances inside the state and a higher share of households using propane for primary heating, which lifts the seasonality risk premium.

Common questions about propane prices by state

Which state has the cheapest propane per gallon?

In the latest EIA Weekly Heating Oil and Propane Survey (week ending 30 March 2026), Nebraska had the lowest residential propane price of the 38 states EIA publishes, at $1.642 per gallon - $1.03 below the US average of $2.674. Midwest (PADD 2) states run lowest because of rural-cooperative distribution density and access to the Conway hub.

Which state has the most expensive propane per gallon?

For the week ending 30 March 2026, Florida carried the highest residential propane price of the 38 EIA-published states, at $4.706 per gallon - $2.03 above the US average. States with long coastal or pipeline-end hauling distances and limited heating-season volume sit at the top of the range.

How much do propane prices vary by state?

A lot. In the same survey week (30 March 2026), the residential price ran from $1.642 per gallon in Nebraska to $4.706 in Florida, a spread of $3.06 per gallon against a US average of $2.674. The spread reflects distance from the Mont Belvieu and Conway hubs, regional inventory, and distribution density, not differences in the propane itself.

Why is propane cheaper in some states than others?

Four structural factors, all documented in EIA's Heating Oil and Propane Update: distance from the Mont Belvieu (Gulf Coast) and Conway (Midcontinent) wholesale hubs, regional inventory levels heading into October, distribution density (rural routes mean longer, costlier tanker hauls), and PADD-level supply economics. PADD 2 (Midwest) is typically lowest and PADD 1 (East Coast) typically highest.

How many states does EIA publish propane prices for?

38. The EIA Weekly Heating Oil and Propane Survey publishes residential propane prices for 38 states from October through March; this site carries a per-state page for each. Prices for the other states fall under the regional PADD figure.
