Sixteen series including consumption have not updated in more than two weeks, so this figure likely reflects a data catch-up rather than a single week of observed demand. - **New Jersey wholesale propane** last surveyed at $1.510/gal, 19% above the 5-year median. The EIA price survey (State Heating Oil and Propane Program) runs October through March and is paused for the season. - **Puerto Rico propane exports** ran 7 Mb/d for the most recent month, per EIA monthly trade data, 600% above the 5-year median for this lane. **Data note:** Sixteen series, including consumption and several inventory figures, have not updated in more than two weeks. Product supplied data should be treated as preliminary pending confirmation. --- Canonical URL: https://fill-line.com/issues/2026-05-20
