Louisiana propane
Louisiana is outside EIA's weekly residential propane price survey, so there is no state-specific price. Here is the wholesale benchmark, the regional inventory context, the nearest surveyed states, and how to get a real local quote.

Louisiana does not appear in EIA's weekly residential propane price survey, but the regional inventory context and nearest surveyed states below provide market reference points.
About Louisiana propane
EIA does not run a weekly residential propane price survey in Louisiana, so there is no public weekly price series to report here. Its State Heating Oil and Propane Program covers 38 states during the October-March heating season; the states left out are mostly across the Pacific and parts of the South. That is a gap in the public survey, not a gap in the market: Louisiana homes still buy propane at prices set locally by delivered volume, tank arrangement, and the season.
The number this site can always show is the Mont Belvieu propane spot price, the national wholesale benchmark every US regional and delivered price is ultimately priced off of. Louisiana's own district, Gulf Coast (PADD), does carry an EIA retail and wholesale price survey of its own, built from the other states EIA surveys there; see Gulf Coast propane prices for that regional number, and Gulf Coast propane stocks for the inventory cushion behind it.
For an actual delivered number, a reader should get a quote from two or three local dealers (price varies with tank size, delivery volume, and whether it is a will-call or keep-full arrangement) and can watch the nearest surveyed states below as a directional reference.
Once a local quote is in hand, the propane usage calculator will estimate your fill cost from it: tank size, gauge reading and how much the household burns, with the price per gallon entered by hand rather than pulled from a survey that does not cover Louisiana.
Common questions
What is the current propane price in Louisiana?
There is no published Louisiana residential propane price. EIA's weekly survey covers 38 states and Louisiana is not one of them, so the closest published numbers are the Gulf Coast regional survey on Gulf Coast propane prices and the national wholesale benchmark, the Mont Belvieu spot price. Both are regional or wholesale references rather than a Louisiana delivered price: for that, get quotes from two or three local dealers.
Why is there no propane price for Louisiana?
EIA's State Heating Oil and Propane Program is a voluntary weekly telephone survey of retail dealers, run October through March in 38 states chosen for propane heating volume. Louisiana is outside that sample, which is a gap in the public survey rather than a gap in the market: Louisiana households still buy propane at prices set locally by delivered volume, tank arrangement and season.
How can I estimate a propane fill cost in Louisiana?
Get a price per gallon from a local dealer, then run it through the propane usage calculator: it turns tank size, gauge reading and household burn rate into a fill cost and an estimate of how long the tank should last.
