For 100,000 Btu of heat here in CT, the cost is as follows
Electric 4.75
Propane 3.33
Oil 1.86

I don't know the cost of natural gas right now.

I hadn't compared them in many years, so I looked up the BTU values
and came up with this in NY - near Albany/Schenectady;

Heating Oil Contains 138,690 BTU's per gallon.
Propane has 91,500 BTU's per gallon.
Electricity has 3,413 BTU's per kilowatt hour (kwh).
to adjust to 100K Btu's use price x [multiplier]
Oil = .721
Propane = 1.092
Elec = 29.300
so - disregarding efficiencies & using last bill as guide;
Oil = 2.13
Propane = 3.12
elec = 4.35

Propane is still a bargain over electricity here, too.
