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 (5 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 5 October 2026. See the Maine state survey, $3.46 per gallon and the New York state survey, $3.12 per gallon, or both state surveys with their regional breakdowns.

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 5 October 2026), North Dakota had the lowest residential propane price of the 38 states EIA publishes, at $1.608 per gallon - $0.99 below the US average of $2.598.
Which state has the most expensive propane per gallon?
For the week ending 5 October 2026, Florida carried the highest residential propane price of the 38 EIA-published states, at $4.864 per gallon - $2.27 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 (5 October 2026), the residential price ran from $1.608 per gallon in North Dakota to $4.864 in Florida, a spread of $3.26 per gallon against a US average of $2.598. 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.
