I can come pretty close, as I run my refrigerator on gas for ten days, switch to electric for ten days, back to gas for ten days, and ten days on electric, and so forth, for the season. Interesting results and it ALWAYS saves electricity on gas. How much? Your results will vary, so mine only applies to me. I pay for both propane and electricity, so I wanted to know. (I enjoy quantifying things rather than giving opinions without facts)

Trouble is the systems are mixed. Would be interesting to see how long the fridge would operate on 30 pounds of propane and the run for the same time on electric using a dedicated meter to show total kWh.

But that is about running cost, not start up as the OP asked.
