So oil right now is $2.99 a gallon, the best price I see here for propane is $2.33.

So for oil, 138,500 btus/gallon which works out to $25.40 per million btus from a heater with 85% efficiency.


For propane, 91,333 btus/gallon, which works out to $26.30 per million btus from a heater with 97% efficiency.


I'm sticking with oil....
