Just wondering which way is cheaper?
I use the fridge a lot on propane camping and I even use it to camp in the winter where I snowmobile so the furnace gets used also.
With all that use in 3 years I only used 12 gallons of propane. I can get propane for 3 bucks a gallon. So I used 36 dollars worth in 3 years.
Seems really cheap.
At home though I leave it on auto which means it's on electric.
My electric cost about 15 cents a kilowatt hour after taxes and delivery. I'm not really good enough at math to figure out which is cheaper. Anybody have a clue or/and is it better to use one over the other?
If burning propane were cost effective we would have no Tesla's
Who ever said the Tesla is a good thing? lol
Now fuel cell might have more of a shot..I dunno.
