Update schedule
- Prices: weekly after EIA's Wednesday release, October to March.
- Help programs, income limits, parking rules: monthly, and when an agency or town announces a change.
- If two official pages disagree, both are shown and the difference is noted (example: Hanover's parking garage street address).
Update log
- Oct 17, 2026: added a "cost of 100 gallons" answer to the heating-costs page (arithmetic on the same published averages; no new data).
- Oct 17, 2026 (ET): first release. Prices from Oct 12, 2026 surveys; help and parking pages read the same day.
