With most recent statement in hand....

I pay Superior Propane $1.008 per litre. My bill includes a $6.00
"transportation fee" and an additional $3.95 "hazardous mat handling
fee". My consumption during this billing period was 94.5 litres and
my total bill, including tax, comes to $119.93.

There are approximately 24,200 BTUs per litre of propane (7.1 kWh).
If I multiple 94.5 litres by 24,200 BTUs, the result is 2,286,900
BTUs.

That means one million BTUs cost me $52.44. That's the equivalent of
buying electricity at $0.18 per kWh. Assuming an 80 per cent
conversion efficiency, my actual cost per kWh(e) is just over $0.22.

The net result is that I pay more than twice as much for propane as I
do electricty.

Cheers,
Paul

Ouch. Our electic rate here is ~0.085/kwh depending on usage. Don't
know how long that will last, though.
