Heating oil dealers are surveyed weekly year- round, while propane dealers are only surveyed during the winter months from October thru March. Dealers are asked to provide the average pricing information for their particular location. DEEP provides the pricing information to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), which aggregates the information. Weekly heating oil and propane prices can be found on the EIA website.
Note: Propane prices may vary based on the amount of fuel purchased. Connecticut collects prices based on whole-house heating usage.
