Cheaper, but not considerably so. Using the correct regulator pressure
for the gas, there should be little noticeable difference. There is a
slight difference when I used to bother to swap between butane and
propane using the compromise between the two gases bulkhead regulator.
Now I just use propane for all seasons.

The petrol stations which supply car type gas, vary the butane/propane
mix depending on the season.

As long as
you don't need cold weather performance it's cheapest option.

That is about it, just remember butane is near useless -10 C.

More like -1C

agree used a caravan once and at -3 not gas for heating or cooking at
all ... very cold.
