What drives the Minnesota price
Minnesota sits in PADD 2 (Midwest) and runs well below the national average, supplied through the Upper Midwest pipeline and rail terminal network. The state's exposure to supply tightness is real, though: the January 2014 polar vortex hit Upper Midwest propane hardest, an episode EIA documented at the time and the reason Minnesota fill-contract timing gets so much local attention each autumn.
