Questions homeowners ask
What propane price applies to Chaffee County?
The latest EIA Colorado residential average is $2.392 per gallon for the survey dated October 5, 2026. Chaffee County uses this same statewide reference; no county average is available here. It is a benchmark, not what a supplier will charge you.
Is this the price my supplier will quote?
No. The figure is a statewide residential survey average, excluding taxes. Delivered quotes vary with route distance, drop size, minimums, tank terms, and fees.
Do counties have different prices here?
No. All 64 counties reference the same dated EIA statewide benchmark. EIA does not publish a county average, and none is invented here.
Why is the price date older than the check time?
The date is when EIA surveyed prices. The check time is when this site last asked EIA for data. A check without new data does not create a new price date.
Why might there be no new weekly price in summer?
EIA generally collects residential propane prices from October through March. Outside that season the last observation is retained and labeled.
Source, methodology, and automation
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), series W_EPLLPA_PRS_SCO_DPG, dollars per gallon.
EIA is the U.S. Energy Information Administration. A “series” is a sequence of measurements of the same thing over time. This series tracks Colorado’s weekly residential propane survey average in dollars per gallon. The series code identifies the dataset; it is not a supplier or a quote for your address.
The site checks EIA on a weekly schedule (Thursdays at 18:00 UTC), at server startup, and on the next visit if the hosted service was asleep. If a check fails, the last verified data is kept and the check is retried hourly. Next scheduled check or retry: October 22, 2026 at 6:00 PM UTC. A successful check does not change the survey observation date.
