Default Gas or Electric Heat?

Which is cheaper, Gas or Electric?
I've got about 5 space heaters of various types in my house, but I
rarely turn them on because it seems like the Gas furnace is keeping up
well.

My furnace is about 3 years old, and is marked with an energy guide
sticker that says it's not all that efficient, though I'm not sure if
that's because the air conditioning uses a bunch.


In most places, gas is cheaper by far. Not knowing your rates, no one can
say for sure. Most of New England is 15¢ or more for electric making it
very expensive.

Go he http://www.warmair.net/html/fuel_cost_comparisons.htm and plug
in the numbers to see what the differences are. I avoid electric heat here
as it is about 60% more than oil.
