About Oklahoma propane prices
Oklahoma is a producing state that also buys at retail. Gas processing plants across the Anadarko Basin and the northeast make propane locally, and the state sits close to the Conway hub in Kansas that prices the inland market. Retail demand is rural: homes on tanks outside the gas systems, poultry houses in the east, and grain drying in the wheat and corn counties.
The price above comes from EIA's State Heating Oil and Propane Program, which surveys a sample of retail dealers in Oklahoma once a week and publishes the state average on Wednesday afternoon. It runs October through March only, so nothing new prints between April and September. EIA also surveys a wholesale price for Oklahoma, 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 6.1% of occupied Oklahoma homes, around the middle of the state rankings.
The regional numbers around this price are Midwest propane prices and Midwest propane stocks, the inventory that has to cover the winter. Estimate your fill cost with the propane usage calculator, which works from tank size, gauge reading and what the household burns.
Common questions
What is the current propane price in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma's residential propane price is $2.383/gal as of Oct 26, 2026, the latest reading in EIA's weekly heating-season survey, with the wholesale (rack) price at $1.243/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 Oklahoma?
In EIA's weekly survey, which runs October through March, Oklahoma's residential price set its season high in February in three of the last five heating seasons, January in one and March in one. The season low came in October in three of the last five heating seasons, November in one and December in one. From low to high the price moved an average of 23.6 cents a season, and the table above lists each season's high and low week. 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 has the mechanics.
How does the Oklahoma propane price compare with the Midwest average?
Oklahoma's residential propane price averaged above the Midwest average in each of the last five heating seasons, by between 15.6 cents and 30.4 cents a gallon. In the Oct 26, 2026 survey Oklahoma was at $2.383/gal against $2.199/gal for the Midwest average. The seasons table above gives the gap season by season, and Midwest 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 an Oklahoma 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.
