About Northeast heating oil prices
Why do prices vary by state?
Heating oil prices differ across the Northeast due to distance from fuel terminals, local dealer competition, state taxes, and delivery logistics. Connecticut and Massachusetts typically have more competitive markets, while rural northern states like Vermont and Maine pay more due to longer supply chains.
When are prices lowest?
Historically lowest between May and August when demand drops sharply. Buying off-season or signing a price cap contract in spring typically saves 20–40 cents per gallon vs. buying during peak winter demand. Set a price alert to be notified automatically.
Where does this data come from?
Prices are sourced from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly residential heating oil survey — the same data used by state energy offices. Data releases every Wednesday; this site refreshes prices daily every morning.
