Cost Comparison: Compare your home heating fuel to natural gas |
|
To compare oil and propane costs to natural gas, oil and propane must be converted into therms. To convert oil to therms – multiply cost of oil per gallon by 0.72 To convert propane to therms – multiply cost of propane per gallon by 1.092 The current cost of one therm of natural gas is $1.26 (based on a monthly bill for a typical residential 12,000 CF user). |
