There is such a tiny amount of this ânatural flavorâ that is needed to flavor food that it is very cheap for the processed food manufacturers to use. For example, in comparison to most other processed foods, sodas contain a larger amount of these flavorings. It only costs $0.005 to flavor a can of Coke.
Propane Cost For Average Home. A 1,500 square foot home in a mild climate would require approximately 1.5 million BTUs of propane fuel for heating each month. Based on a cost per gallon of $2.86, it would cost approximately $57 per month to heat the home with propane. The same size home in a moderate climate would require 3 million BTUs per month, and cost $114. A home in a severe climate would need about 5 million BTUs per month, and cost approximately $191 per month to heat.
Cost of propane vs natural gas. The cost comparison between propane and natural gas is much easier to determine because unlike electricity, natural gas and propane can be directly compared based on their individual BTU ratings. Letâs assume the cost for natural gas is $15.00 per 1,000 cubic feet. This means that $15.00 will purchase approximately 1.03 million BTUâs of energy. This would be equivalent to 11.26 gallons of propane. At $2.50 per gallon of propane, natural gas would be a more cost effective energy solution. Breaking it down even further, natural gas needs to be more than $28.00 per 1,000 cubic feet for propane to be a more cost effective energy solution (provided the cost for propane is $2.50 per gallon).
