OK ULSD has more heat value per gallon.
ULSD is almost $4.00 gallon
LPG is $2.13 gallon
Which is the most economical fuel for heating?
Simple math says:
At those prices, based on BTU content only, clearly its LPG.
It costs a lot of money to refine the sulfur out of diesel fuel. With LPG it's generally not an issue. I don't currently know about Mexico, but here in the USA, there are considerable additional road taxes added to the price of diesel fuel. That makes LPG the winner in your example.
Now back in the old days with $.25/gal. rot gut dirty/stinky Mexican diesel fuel, (the kind you had to pre-filter before filling your tank) the situation would be reversed.
