Default Never thought I'd be better off with oil instead of gas...

Last time I checked, heating oil was available (1000 litres) at
29.34p.

True for LPG (delivered to a cylinder, or bought in "bottles"), but not
for mains gas:

Mains gas per kWh ~ 2p

Take oil per litre at 29.34p, kWh per litre of oil ~10.5, so oil ~2.8p
per kWh.
