Propane has fewer BTUs per gallon than fuel oil (92,000 BTU / gal for propane vs 140,000 BTUs /gal for #2 oil or roughly 50% less energy content per gallon for propane). If you were using 5 to 6 gallons a day in similar weather with oil in your old house assuming it was of similar size, what you’re seeing now is probably in the ballpark.
