Is propane cheaper than natural gas?

[Gary Max]

I use their tank---500 gallons. Doesn't cost me a dime as long as I buy propane from that company. Sits in back yard--can not be seen unless you are behind the house.
I run hot water and heat on propane---so if the power goes out we still can take a hot shower and stay warm. We paid $1.37 per gal. this year.
Plus we still have a electric forced air furnace in the house. No NG out here.

My buddy just put in Propane as a choice over oil. He was told that it would be about 10 percant more expensive. The pluses are that he can bury the tank and there is no maintenance as with oil. He installed a 1000 gallon tank and hopes to be able to play the market and get fill when prices are lower. He has a direct vent boiler so there was a savings on the expensive chimney pipe. The tank installation was about 2000 dollars but the gas boilers are cheaper initially. Less moving parts to break down and no filters to replace. I think it was a good choice. That said the coice between propane and natual gas is easy NG for sure.
