What drives the Michigan price
Michigan has one of the highest residential propane usage densities in the country and is the largest single-state consumer of propane for home heating (EIA Today in Energy). Prices track somewhat below the national average because of high distribution density and proximity to the Sarnia, Ontario import point and the TEPPCO Midwest system. Cold-snap surges, particularly in the Upper Peninsula, drive the steepest week-on-week moves.
