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)
I think you missed my point. NOBODY can really determine which(LP or 120) operates the refer BETTER. The process takes so much time it would drive anybody crazy trying to determine that LP or 120 is BETTER at cooling. The design parameters(BTU's) are almost identical. FYI, MOST of my troubleshooting happens when outside temps are above 85 degrees and ALL my testing is done on 120, unless the complaint involves problems on LP. I would NEVER run my refer on LP unless the Line voltage was below 110 volts. Doug
