Propane vs natural gas price in Ontario
I am planning to buy a BBQ, and I am debating a propane or natural gas.
So assume I already have natural gas pipe outside and I can just connect the BBQ.
Now about the propane vs natural gas price.
Usually the refill price for propane is $1 per litre.
I checked my gas bill, in summer time, it is about $1 per cubic meter.
Propane contains more energy. On average, 1 cubic foot of propane contains 2500 BTU energy, and 1 cubic foot of natural gas contains 1000 BTU of energy. So, propane contains 2.5 times more energy then natural gas.
Volume wise, the propane is 1000 times more expensive then natural gas, but propane contains 2.5 times more energy then natural gas, so based on the above, propane is 400 times more expansive than natural gas?
This sounds very very unreasonable.....can you guys figure out where the problem is?
