Week of Aug 13, 2026
West Virginia is outside the EIA's weekly propane price survey, so there is no public state price series. PADD 2 inventory data provides regional supply context, the nearest surveyed states show price direction, and local suppliers provide current market quotes.
About West Virginia propane
EIA does not run a weekly residential propane price survey in West Virginia, 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: West Virginia 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. West Virginia's own district, Lower Atlantic (PADD), does carry an EIA retail and wholesale price survey of its own, built from the other states EIA surveys there; see Lower Atlantic propane prices for that regional number, and Lower Atlantic 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 West Virginia.
Common questions
What is the current propane price in West Virginia?
There is no published West Virginia residential propane price. EIA's weekly survey covers 38 states and West Virginia is not one of them, so the closest published numbers are the Lower Atlantic regional survey on Lower Atlantic propane prices and the national wholesale benchmark, the Mont Belvieu spot price. Both are regional or wholesale references rather than a West Virginia delivered price: for that, get quotes from two or three local dealers.
Why is there no propane price for West Virginia?
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. West Virginia is outside that sample, which is a gap in the public survey rather than a gap in the market: West Virginia households still buy propane at prices set locally by delivered volume, tank arrangement and season.
How can I estimate a propane fill cost in West Virginia?
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.
