Default Contrasting oil versus tank LPG central heating costs

Has anyone done the figures contrasting running costs of oil or LPG in
a big tank for central heating?


See the URLs already posted but note that they might have axes to
grind...

On basic fuel costs LPG is normally more expensive than oil. But recently
both prices have leapt up. Is this going to be a place you are going to
foreseably stay in for the long term? I'd look at some form of "bio
boiler", perhaps wood chip or wood pellet. Or even just a wood burner
with boiler or provision for one. Think about solar panels as well. The
messy hard bit is running pipes etc, do it now whilst you have the place
completely in pieces.
