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.
