What drives the Texas price
Texas sits in PADD 3, the Gulf Coast region, with direct pipeline access to the Mont Belvieu hub. Despite the proximity to wholesale supply, retail residential prices in Texas run above the national average, by between 25 and 51 cents a gallon in every week of the 2025-2026 EIA survey season, because rural distribution distances inside the state are large and many households use propane for primary heating.
