Being on metered electric I wanted to calculate if it was cheaper to run appliances on LPG rather than electric, fridge, water heater, etc.
I used this info for the calculation:
1 Gallon of LPG = 27 kWh (Kilowatt Hours) of electricity
LPG costs ~ 50p lt.
1 lt equal to 6 kw
so 1kw costs 8.3p
Electric costs 16p kw
So LPG is ~ half the cost of electricity (assuming appliances are equally efficient on either fuel.)
Have I calculated correctly.. ?
if so then LPG wins hands down until it reaches £1 per lt.
