Propane provides my heat, hot water and cooking. Even at its elevated price, it’s still a good deal.
We use our propane for emergency heat also and it helps me sleep better at night knowing we are not dependent on grid power for heat (for a month or so, anyway). The problem for me with the cost comparison is the electricity is only 5-6 cents/kWh here and it is hard to beat that. I didn’t look at the price on the last propane delivery but it was probably around $3.50/gallon.
