If gasoline is $3.15 per gallon, and propane is $2.50, you break even.. Around here in NY, gasoline is $3.15 at pump, $2.90 at the farm, and propane is $2.50 per gallon if you buy in bulk, and even higher in small quanities.

Gasoline at $3.15 - 36,200 BTUs of energy
Propane at $2.50 - 33,720 BTUs of energy
Propane at $1.50 - 56,200 BTUs of energy
