About Utah propane prices
Utah runs on natural gas. Mains serve most of the Wasatch Front and the delivered-fuel market is small by comparison, which leaves propane to the rural counties, the canyon communities and the high desert towns. Refineries north of Salt Lake City and gas processing in the Uinta Basin supply much of that demand, so the freight leg behind a Utah price is shorter than in most western states.
EIA builds this number by calling retail dealers in Utah each week of the October to March heating season and averaging what they report, published Wednesday afternoon. The survey stops for the summer and picks back up in October. EIA publishes no wholesale price for Utah, so the chart carries the residential line alone. The wholesale series runs at the regional level instead, on the Rocky Mountain price page. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey, on five-year estimates, puts propane as the main heating fuel in 2.6% of occupied Utah homes, below the national middle.
The regional numbers around this price are Rocky Mountain propane prices and Rockies and West Coast propane stocks, the inventory that has to cover the winter. The propane usage calculator will estimate your fill cost at this price: gallons per burner-hour from an appliance's rating, gallons a year, and how long a tank of a given size lasts between deliveries.
Common questions
What is the current propane price in Utah?
EIA surveys residential propane prices only from October through March, so there is no current residential figure for Utah right now. The Mont Belvieu spot price is the year-round wholesale benchmark, and the last surveyed residential price was $2.337/gal on Mar 30, 2026. The weekly survey restarts in October.
When is propane most expensive in Utah?
Residential propane runs highest in the middle of the heating season, ordinarily January and February, and cheapest through the summer while Rocky Mountain stocks are building and nothing is drawing on them. The regional wrinkle is that Rocky Mountain demand is spread thin across mountain counties and high plains, where the heating season runs long and a delivery route can be a long one. Why propane prices rise in winter has the mechanics.
Why is there no wholesale propane price for Utah?
EIA publishes no state-level wholesale (rack) price for Utah, so the chart above carries the residential line alone. The wholesale series runs at the regional level instead, on the Rocky Mountain price page, and the Mont Belvieu spot price is the national wholesale benchmark. How propane is priced walks through the delivered-service stack that separates a rack gallon from a delivered one.
