About Georgia propane prices
Georgia's propane year does not start with cold weather. The state leads the country in broiler production, and poultry houses pull propane for brooder heat well before home furnaces do, on top of the fall drying load from peanuts and grain. The Dixie pipeline crosses the state carrying Gulf Coast barrels toward the Carolinas, and coastal import terminals give the Southeast a second supply line behind it.
The figure above is EIA's weekly survey average for Georgia, collected from retail dealers during the October to March heating season and published Wednesday afternoons. No survey runs in the warm months, so the last spring reading stands until the fall. EIA also surveys a wholesale price for Georgia, plotted as the lower line. The distance between the two is the delivered-service stack, and it widens when the rack falls faster than dealers reprice. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey, on five-year estimates, puts propane as the main heating fuel in 4.2% of occupied Georgia homes, below the national middle.
The regional numbers around this price are Lower Atlantic propane prices and Lower Atlantic propane stocks, the inventory that has to cover the winter. Turning this price into a fill cost takes a tank size and a gauge reading; the propane usage calculator does that arithmetic and prefills the Georgia price.
Common questions
What is the current propane price in Georgia?
Georgia's residential propane price is $3.279/gal as of Oct 26, 2026, the latest reading in EIA's weekly heating-season survey, with the wholesale (rack) price at $1.213/gal on Oct 26, 2026. The chart above carries the full history and the table shows the week-over-week move.
When is propane most expensive in Georgia?
In EIA's weekly survey, which runs October through March, Georgia's residential price set its season high in February in three of the last five heating seasons, October in one and March in one. The season low came in October in four of the last five heating seasons and December in one. From low to high the price moved an average of 28.5 cents a season, and the table above lists each season's high and low week. The regional wrinkle is that Lower Atlantic winters are milder, so the seasonal rise is usually shallower here, though poultry brooders and tobacco curing pull volume in the fall ahead of any real cold. Why propane prices rise in winter has the mechanics.
How does the Georgia propane price compare with the Lower Atlantic average?
Georgia's residential propane price averaged below the Lower Atlantic average in each of the last five heating seasons, by between 32.0 cents and 35.6 cents a gallon. In the Oct 26, 2026 survey Georgia was at $3.279/gal against $3.699/gal for the Lower Atlantic average. The seasons table above gives the gap season by season, and Lower Atlantic propane prices carries the district's own chart.
What is the difference between the residential and wholesale price on this page?
The residential price is what a Georgia household pays for a delivered gallon: the dealer's own cost plus trucking, tank service and margin. The wholesale price is that dealer cost at the rack, before any of it. The gap between the two is the delivered-service stack, and how propane is priced walks through each layer of it.
