How many BTUs in 1 gal of propane, and in 1 gal of natural gas?
I am trying to quote the cost difference using a system with propane versus natural gas. The system uses 25-35 gallons of propane. I have been quoted local energy prices in gallons ({content}.14/gal nat gas vs .40/gal propane).
Thank in advance!

Natural gas is not sold in gallons…it’s usually sold by the cubic foot. One(1) gallon of propane contains 91502 btu’s…
If that is $0.014 per cubic foot of natural gas, you are going to spend $0.70 for every dollar you would spend on propane at $2.40/gal…

I always thought any natural gas was sold by weight.Natural gas is by far, more common in this area and much cheaper
