Does anyone have any thoughts / insight to:

- will LP gas prices fluctuate proportionately the same as #2 oil prices,

Yes. Energy is fungible.

- how would electricity prices fluctuate relative to the price of oil?

Similarly.

- what about nat gas prices?

Similarly.

- are there any sources on the internet where I could easily evaluate solar?
I'm most interested in -- if I put a reasonable set of collectors on my
roof, given my current configuration of roof orientation, location, etc.,
how much energy could I expect to capture?

You might collect the equivalent of 1 gallon per square foot of collector
per year, but rooftop collectors are very expensive compared to sunspaces.
