Question 1

Where does Massachusetts heating oil price data come from?

Accepted Answer

Massachusetts heating oil price data on FuelFinder comes from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), which surveys heating oil dealers across the state and publishes average residential delivered prices weekly during the heating season.

Question 2

How often are Massachusetts heating oil prices updated?

Accepted Answer

Prices are updated weekly when the EIA publishes its residential heating oil report, typically during the active heating season (October through March). During the off-season, EIA data may not be available for all states.

Question 3

Why does my local heating oil price differ from the Massachusetts average?

Accepted Answer

State averages are calculated from survey data across the entire state. Individual supplier prices vary based on your specific location, order volume, payment terms, and local competitive conditions. Enter your ZIP code on FuelFinder to see what participating suppliers charge in your area.
