What drives the New York price
New York sits in PADD 1B (Central Atlantic), where residential propane runs persistently among the highest prices in the EIA survey: for the week ending 30 March 2026 only five of the 38 state series EIA publishes were higher. Propane use is concentrated upstate, beyond the natural gas grid, and supply arrives at pipeline-end and rail terminals rather than direct from the Gulf Coast hub, which raises the delivered cost.
