Electric or Propane When Paying for Electric?
We just arrived in Tucson where my wife will be starting her next assignment. We'll be staying here at the Far Horizon RV Resort for the next three months. It's a great park but this will be the first...

On some level I don't really care where every dime I spend goes.
If I'm out I may stop at a restaurant to eat. I am fully aware that it would be more economical to eat at home. LP could be slightly cheaper than electric but the difference will be negligible to the point I'm not concerned about it.
I see people going out of their way or waiting in line 30-60 minutes to buy gas that maybe 5 cents a gallon cheaper. With a 35 gallon tank the difference is $1.75. Most cars do not have 35 gallon tanks. These people have more free time and knowledge than me. Maybe both!;)
Because I have not figured out how saving the $1.75 is worthwhile.
Maybe the LP vs. gas scenario is the same. I can't figure out how using LP can be more beneficial than just using electric. LP is not more efficient and the cost difference is negligible. Throw in the convenience factor and I see no reason to use LP vs. electric.
But maybe I just lack the knowledge to figure it all out.
For those with the knowledge how much are you actually saving by using LP vs.electric? Is there a real number or is it just a matter of principle?
