State table

Sorted highest to lowest. Every figure is from the same EIA survey week.

Every figure in this table is from the same EIA survey week (19 October 2026). EIA collects the residential price weekly from October through March and publishes each week's reading the following Wednesday. Some state energy offices also run their own surveys of delivered retail propane, including through the EIA off-season; this site reads two of them, most recently on 19 October 2026. See the Maine state survey, $3.52 per gallon and the New York state survey, $3.62 per gallon, or both state surveys with their regional breakdowns.

Propane price per gallon by region

The same 38 state prices from the week ending 19 October 2026, grouped into the PADD regions EIA files them under. Each row is a simple average of the states in that region, worked out here from the table above; it is not the regional price EIA publishes.

Closeness to the wholesale hubs does not decide the order on its own. Texas sits in PADD 3 beside Mont Belvieu, yet its residential price this week was $3.137, above the US average of $2.689. The wholesale price is only the floor under a delivered price; the rest is trucking, storage and dealer margin. The wholesale vs retail spread shows how big that gap is nationally.

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 19 October 2026), North Dakota had the lowest residential propane price of the 38 states EIA publishes, at $1.651 per gallon - $1.04 below the US average of $2.689.

Which state has the most expensive propane per gallon?

For the week ending 19 October 2026, Florida carried the highest residential propane price of the 38 EIA-published states, at $4.928 per gallon - $2.24 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 (19 October 2026), the residential price ran from $1.651 per gallon in North Dakota to $4.928 in Florida, a spread of $3.28 per gallon against a US average of $2.689. 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?

Mostly distribution, not the propane itself. Every state's supply prices off the same wholesale hubs (Mont Belvieu on the Gulf Coast, Conway in Kansas), so the gap between states comes from what happens after the hub: distance and pipeline access to the terminal, how much inventory a region carries into the winter, how far delivery trucks travel between customers, and local competition between dealers.

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, weekly from October through March; this site carries a per-state page for each. Prices for the other states fall under the regional PADD figure.
