Grain drying adds a fall load in the northern half of the state. Supply comes up from the Gulf Coast by pipeline, and Missouri sits close enough to the Conway hub in Kansas that the inland benchmark, rather than Mont Belvieu, is often the better read on what dealers here are paying. The figure above is EIA's weekly survey average for Missouri, 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. The second line on the chart is the wholesale price Missouri dealers pay at the rack. What separates the two lines is the cost of getting a gallon into a tank behind a house, which is delivery, tank service and dealer margin together, not margin alone. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey, on five-year estimates, puts propane as the main heating fuel in 8.4% of occupied Missouri homes, well above the national middle. That is a large block of homes to keep supplied through a cold January. Missouri reports into EIA's Midwest district, so the wider read is [Midwest propane prices](/region/padd2) and the [Midwest inventory](/stocks/padd2) behind them. Turning this price into a fill cost takes a tank size and a gauge reading; the [propane usage calculator](/tools/propane-usage-calculator) does that arithmetic and prefills the Missouri price. ## Common questions ### What is the current propane price in Missouri? EIA surveys residential propane prices only from October through March, so there is no current residential figure for Missouri right now. The wholesale (rack) price dealers pay in Missouri is $0.977/gal a gallon as of Mar 30, 2026, and the last surveyed residential price was $2.209/gal on Mar 30, 2026. The weekly survey restarts in October. ### When is propane most expensive in Missouri? Residential propane runs highest in the middle of the heating season, ordinarily January and February, and cheapest through the summer while [Midwest stocks](/stocks/padd2) are building and nothing is drawing on them. The regional wrinkle is that the Midwest season starts before the thermostat does: propane fires grain dryers across the Corn Belt in October and November, and a wet harvest can pull volume hard weeks ahead of heating demand. [Why propane prices rise in winter](/guides/why-propane-prices-rise-in-winter) has the mechanics. ### What is the difference between the residential and wholesale price on this page? The residential price is what a Missouri 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](/guides/how-propane-is-priced) walks through each layer of it. ## About this data - Source: EIA State Heating Oil and Propane Program survey - Series: Residential retail propane price - Basis: Residential, retail - Geography: Missouri propane prices - Unit: $/gal - Calculation period: Weekly survey, Oct-Mar heating season - Last observation: Mar 30, 2026 - Update frequency: Weekly, Oct-Mar --- Cite: Residential propane in Missouri propane prices averaged $2.209/gal as of Mar 30, 2026 (EIA).
