Here is the chart with Fuller's discount oil price and your $2.15 price. The last number is the cost per season based on 1,000 gallons of oil or the equivalent of 1,000 gallons of oil in propane. Your propane number makes sense for conversion, the published numbers by the state do not.
**** the last number is not exact but should be close, I used 125 million btu's as an approximation for 1,000 gallons of oil, that's off by about 10% for oil but shouldn't matter to the calculation as I used the 125 Mbtus by the efficiency number for 1 million btus for both gas and oil. The comparison should be correct and the amount of fuel used per season will vary anyway. ****
