缅因州：取暖油均价升至每加仑6.04美元 再创纪录 同比涨83%
缅因州能源资源厅10月22日发布最新每周取暖燃料价格调查：该州取暖油平均价格在10月19日升至每加仑6.04美元，再创纪录，较去年10月上涨83%，打破此前每加仑6.02美元的纪录。
缅因州对取暖油的依赖程度为全美最高，约一半家庭以燃油为主要取暖方式。随着寒冷季节临近，取暖成本成为该州家庭预算的关注焦点。州长 Janet Mills 本周欢迎联邦能源部授权从东北取暖油储备中释放最多31.5万桶燃油，并呼吁增加联邦低收入家庭能源援助计划（LIHEAP）拨款。
州长办公室此前表示，取暖油价格9月曾达每加仑6.02美元，按标准275加仑油箱计算，装满一箱比一年前多花约740美元。州政府还表示，数以千计符合条件的居民将开始通过州低收入援助计划自动获得电费折扣，该计划资金已从2025年的2,250万美元增至2026年的4,050万美元。
州能源资源厅每周发布取暖燃料价格调查，涵盖取暖油、煤油与丙烷等燃料，是居民与政策制定者观察取暖季成本的主要指标。
Maine: Heating Oil Average Hits Record $6.04 a Gallon, Up 83% From Last Year
The Maine Department of Energy Resources released its latest weekly heating fuel price survey on October 22, showing the statewide average price of home heating oil reached a record $6.04 a gallon on October 19, an 83% increase from October 2025, breaking the previous record of $6.02 a gallon.
Maine depends on heating oil more than any other state, with about half of its homes using oil as their primary heat source. As cold weather sets in, heating costs are a central concern for household budgets. Governor Janet Mills this week welcomed the U.S. Department of Energy's authorization to release up to 315,000 barrels from the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve and renewed her call for more federal funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
The Governor's Office has said heating oil reached $6.02 a gallon in September, which works out to about $740 more to fill a standard 275-gallon tank than a year earlier. It also said thousands of eligible residents will begin receiving automatic discounts on electric bills through the state's Low Income Assistance Program, whose funding has grown from $22.5 million in 2025 to $40.5 million in 2026.
The Department of Energy Resources publishes the weekly survey of heating fuel prices, covering heating oil, kerosene and propane, a key indicator for residents and policymakers during the heating season.
