For years the fuel of choice in a rural setting was propane. It was
70-90 cents/gal. Now it is 2.10/gal and btu for btu yielded you can
heat with low-tech electric resistance heat for less money.
1 Million BTU Electricity = $24.90 (TN)
1 Million BTU Propane (80% Furnace)=$28.46
1 Million BTU = 293 kWh * $0.15 (NY) = $43.95
Propane wins. Plus, when the power goes out, propane still runs, if I
had electric, I freeze to death.
