What drives the Maine price
Maine sits in PADD 1A (New England) with residential prices well above the national average, reflecting the rail-and-truck supply chain that serves the whole region. Maine is also one of the few states with an independent published price series: the Maine Governor's Energy Office runs its own weekly heating fuels survey alongside EIA's, which makes Maine prices unusually easy to cross-check.
