My analysis assumes equipment especially designed for propane - like the Ford F150 especially built for it, or the factory-equipped propane gensets, or the farm tractors factory-equipped with propane.
It seems to me that some people who live in areas where propane is unsually cheap are forgetting that is the exception. Average prices last week - for bulk-fill - were: East coast - New England - $3.05 per gallon, Central Alantic - $3.03 per gallon, Lower Atlantic - $2.84 Midwest - $2.30 per gallon
As far as I know of, $1.97 per gallon for propane at bulk-rate is about the lowest in the United States right now - but . . . there also many places where bulk propane is $4.00 per gallon.
The same farmer's co-op in Kansas that is selling propane for $1.97 per gallon is selling gasoline for $3.00 per gallon and dyed #2 diesel for $2.84. So, at an area where propane is may be the cheapest in the nation - BTUs cost:
Propane = One dollar buys 46,500 BTUs of energy. Gas - One dollar buys 38,000 BTUs of energy. Diesel - one dollar buys 45,800 BTUs of engergy.
Here in New York, today - Propane - $3.19 per gallon bulk Gas - $3.23 per gallon reg. Diesel - $3.09 (dyed #2) That means - Propane = One dollar buys 28,700 BTUs of energy. Gas - One dollar buys 35,300 BTUs of energy. Diesel - one dollar buys 42,000 BTUs of engergy.
