Default Relative costs of mains Gas/LPG/Oil

Dear all,

Someone is bound to know this so here goes.

I'm replacing my Cheratl heating system and boiler soon. I am currntly
running CH from a solid fuel boiler (Parkray Cumbria 111). I would like
to replace it with a Combi of some kind but I am undecided as to what to
run it from. Mains gas is probably uneconomical to install as I'm quite
a way from the gas main, so I'm left with the choice of LPG or Oil.

I've heard from diffrent people that LPG is more expensive than mains
gas. Some say a third more others say 3-4 times more. Others have said
that oil is cheaper than mains gas, can't beleive this myself as
everyone would have oil! So I'm a bit confused.

Can anyone tell me, or point me to, the relative costs of Mains Gas, LPG
and Oil? I'm not after specifics just a relative cost of heating say a
typical 3 bedroom semi or whatever on each fuel so I can decide which is
going to be best for me to go for.

Thanks

Jimmy
