Heating oil is the one major home fuel that almost only exists east of the Rockies: the EIA dealer survey covers the East Coast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain districts, and the same gallon that costs $2.674 nationally averaged $3.766 in New England and $2.184 in the Midwest at the last weekly collection - a 72% regional premium with no shipping surcharge to explain it. The Northeast pays it because that is where oil-heated homes cluster, so dealer networks, delivery trucks and winter demand all price accordingly.
The table below carries every region and surveyed state, with the one-week and one-year changes printed beside each price. Type your state into the calculator to price a delivery - a typical residential fill is about 150 gallons.
How to use
- Type a region, PADD district or state (New England, Connecticut, PADD2) to pull its surveyed price and the spread against the $2.674 US average.
- Enter gallons - the default 150 approximates a mid-winter delivery - to see what that region's price means on your invoice.
- Read the wk and yr columns as cents of change: most of the country sits slightly under last winter's prices at this snapshot.
Frequently asked questions
Why is New England heating oil so much more expensive than the Midwest?
Demand concentration and market depth. The Northeast is the only region where oil heat is a mainstream choice, so a full retail ecosystem competes there - and winter delivery surges lift prices; in the Midwest, heating oil is a niche residual fuel that hugs wholesale closely. This week's survey put New England at $3.766 against the Midwest's $2.184 - the same commodity, priced 72% apart by where it burns.
When does EIA collect these prices?
Dealers are surveyed weekly on Mondays from October through March, and monthly on the second Monday from April through September. The table reflects the week of March 30, 2026 - the final weekly collection of the 2025-26 season - so October 2026 restarts the weekly updates. Between seasons, the monthly collections keep the table's series alive but sparser.
Are taxes included in these prices?
No - every figure is dollars per gallon excluding taxes. That keeps states comparable on what the fuel itself costs, but your invoice adds whatever your state levies on heating fuels, which is a different schedule from the motor-fuel excise rates on the gas tax table. Some states tax heating fuel lightly or not at all precisely because it competes with untaxed wood and other alternatives.
Is heating oil cheaper than propane or gas per unit of heat?
Per gallon, no; per unit of heat, it depends on the week. This survey had oil at $2.674 against propane's $1.041 - but an oil gallon packs 138,500 BTU versus propane's 91,500, so per million BTU oil ran about $19.31 against propane's $11.38. Against natural gas the comparison needs your local utility rate - the natural gas price table covers the wholesale side.
