They said my propane is currently $2.19/gallon. I'm currently setting up my
home to use Fuji PID Fuzzy Logic temperature controllers wired to solid
state relays with oil filled radiators. The propane heat provides 30,000
btu/h and the electric heaters and temp controls let me adjust different
areas/zones.

It gives info on how to compare cost of different fuels. Propane used
to be relatively cheap, but now in my area it is more expensive for
heating than electricity. I am thinking about replacing the hot water
heater with an electric one.

I don't even have to look at an enegy calculator.
Just got #2 oil last week for $2.99/gal. and propane
is coming this week for $3.12/gal.
HUH??? With propane only yielding... what, ~70% the
heat content of oil, propane is a REALLY BAD deal right
now.
