What makes Ohio different
- Prices dipped in early winter. Last season, Ohio’s average fell to $2.41 in early November before rising to $2.75 in mid-February. A fill in November cost about 34¢ a gallon less than one in February.
- Close to Midwest supply. Ohio sits between the lower-priced Midwest and the higher-priced Northeast, so prices vary across the state.
- HEAP and Winter Crisis help. Ohio’s Home Energy Assistance Program covers propane, and the state runs a winter crisis program for households that are out of fuel or about to run out.

My take on Ohio propane this winter
Ohio is the outlier this year: propane opened almost exactly where it was a year ago, just 3¢ higher. Last winter prices rose about 16¢ from October to a February peak of $2.75.
Because Midwest homes burn so much propane, Ohio still ends up with the highest estimated bill of the Midwest states in the EIA survey, about $1,650 for November to March. A flat price is a good moment to fill the tank. Here’s how Ohio compares with other states. — Nathan Brooks
