Avoid LPG, VERY expensive. We don't have mains gas here and I had Oil
installed back in November, not sure how it compares to the cost of mains
gas but my last lot of Oil cost me 19p per litre, 900 litres cost me around
?180. I expect to only use around two tanks worth of oil a year, its no
hassle set an account up with a supplier and they'll come and top your tank
up when ever you want, they do mine ever 4 months.
1l, call it 600g = 26MJ or so.
(most hydrocarbons are around 44MJ/Kg).
That's around 8 KWh, or around 2.2p/unit.
Slightly dearer than mains gas, according to my last bill.
But several times cheaper than electric.
That is consistent with figures I glanced atwhen comparing cots obn
various Agas.
Cheapest at the moment is gas, then oil, after that off peak and LPG
similar, and on peak way higher than anything.
