Here is a fuel cost comparison chart, dated 01-10-2008

With the current soaring price increases for all forms of energy, except solar, we are in the process of re figuring these.

      

Conversion Factors: The following factors enable you to convert between different energy units. 1 therm = 100,000 btu's
BTU = 252.5 c or 0.252 C
Kilowatt Hour (KWH) = 3413 BTU
Horsepower-hours = 1.341 KWH
Propane, gallon = 92,500 BTU*
Gasoline, gallon = 125,000 BTU*
Kerosene, gallon = 135,000 BTU*
Diesel oil, gallon = 138,700 BTU*
Fuel Oil, gallon No. 5 = 148, 000 BTU*

*This is an approximate value typically used for this conversion. Because these are average values, the exact BTU content varies with type and source, it is important to contact the supplier when accuracy is important.

British Thermal Unit (BTU): Energy needed to Raise l pound water 1o Fahrenheit (F)
