What drives the Pennsylvania price
Pennsylvania sits in PADD 1B (Central Atlantic) with mixed supply via the Marcellus production basin (a major NGL source) and the TEPPCO pipeline system. Rural propane usage is concentrated in the central and northern counties; eastern Pennsylvania is more natural-gas served. Retail prices run above the national average because of distribution costs in the rural Pennsylvania Wilds region.
