Propane is the only home fuel with a genuinely national price map - every PADD except the West Coast reports - and it is cheap per gallon: the US average printed $1.041 at the last weekly collection, with North Dakota the floor at $0.846 and New Jersey the ceiling at $1.510 after a 35-cent single-week swing that shows how thin these state markets are. Cheap per gallon, though, is not cheap per heat: a gallon of propane carries 91,500 BTU against heating oil's 138,500.
The table lists every surveyed region and state with one-week and one-year changes. NA means EIA received too few dealer responses to print an honest average - Kentucky and Arkansas this week - not zero price.
How to use
- Type a region or state (Midwest, Ohio, PADD3) to pull its surveyed propane price and the spread against the $1.041 US average.
- Enter gallons - the default 500 approximates a typical residential tank refill - to price the delivery.
- Compare fuels per heat, not per gallon: the tool note converts both oil and propane to dollars per million BTU.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some states show NA instead of a price?
The EIA survey prints an average only when enough dealers respond in a state. Kentucky and Arkansas fell below that threshold this week - rural dealer panels are small and a few non-responses can starve a state cell. Suppressing the number is the honest move; a fabricated average would misprice a whole state's tank refills.
Propane or heating oil - which burns cheaper?
Convert to heat units before answering. At this survey's prices, propane cost about $11.38 per million BTU ($1.041 per 91,500-BTU gallon) versus oil's $19.31 ($2.674 per 138,500-BTU gallon) - propane delivered heat roughly 40% cheaper. Equipment efficiency shifts the comparison in practice: condensing oil furnaces and standard propane units recover different shares of those BTUs, so run your own equipment's numbers.
When does EIA collect these prices?
Weekly on Mondays October through March, monthly on the second Monday the rest of the year. This table is the week of March 30, 2026 - the 2025-26 season's final weekly collection; October 2026 resumes the weekly series. The summer monthly prints keep state cells alive but with wider week-to-week jumps.
Why did New Jersey propane swing 35 cents in one week?
State propane markets are thin: a handful of wholesale deals set the state average, so one supplier's repricing or a cold snap's demand surge moves it hard. New Jersey printed a 35.0-cent weekly drop while neighboring Pennsylvania moved 7 cents. Compare trends across several weeks - or against the region row - before reading one state's week as a market signal.
