David for sharing info Per my buddy, Google:

1 gallon of propane = 91,333 BTU
1000 standard cubic (MCF) of natural gas around one million BTU
About 11 gallons of propane equals 1 MCF gas

Don’t know how much each costs, but that’s the way to compare.

One of the characteristics of a gas is that it fills its container -- a gallon, cubic foot or cubic yard. Therefor, gallons mean nothing. What matters is energy content. That's why natural gas is sold in standard cubic feet each of which has something like 1020 BTUs. Billing is per thousand standard cubic feet, 1.02 million BTUs. (A BTU is the energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit.) That's what you really want to know anyway: how much heating will it provide? When I don't have to heat or cool, my electric bill is around $67. When it's cold, gas can be several hundred dollars. When it's hot, electric can be several hundred dollars. Better insulation reduces both bills. David for standards REGARDING:

There is also a minimum monthly fee, even if you don't use any gas. I had a furnace, everything else was electric. It cost more to run the furnace for a month than the whole rest of the house on electricity. Natural gas prices may be cheaper than propane, good luck trying to find out the cost of natural gas per gallon, but they will get you with fees and charges that will increase your bill. @Kaye…..If you convert to natural gas it would be a good idea to be sitting when you open your bill and have an employee that can translate your statement with all the fees and surcharges.
