04/13/2010 03:59 PM ET  

The current statewide average cash price for No. 2 heating oil now stands at $2.75 a gallon.

Heating oil prices jumped four cents a gallon in Maine last week. According to the Governor's Office of Energy Independence and Security's latest survey, the statewide average cash price for No. 2 heating oil now stands at $2.75 a gallon.

In a statement, OEIS Director John Kerry says while heating oil futures fell slightly, "it wasn't enough for consumers to notice a difference in this week's retail price."

Actual oil prices varied widely across the state, with the lowest price of $2.45 a gallon found in the southwest and the highest price of $2.97 a gallon found in the north.

Kerosene is currently selling for an average of $3.11 a gallon, while propane, based on an annual use of 600 gallons, is selling for $2.76 a gallon.
