Does anyone know how many therms of natural gas it takes to equal one gallon of Propane?

Come on man, can't you use Google?
Here directly from a google search:
100 Cubic Feet (CCF) of Natural Gas = 1.069 Therms
Gallon of Propane = 91,800 Btu – 0.918 Therms

Google...huh?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Thanks for the answer!
Now I can see how bad I'm getting screwed by using propane vs. natural gas in my home! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I just got a cost comparison based on current rates: .76 cents per therm for natural gas & $1.76 per therm for propane. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif I heat my home with propane.
My natural gas at the laundries has been pretty low...let's just hope it stays that way.
Anybody use propane?

Harper,
About 45 years ago, my dad had a laundromat running on propane because natural gas was not available at that location. He switched to natural gas as soon as it became available there. All the dryers and the water heaters needed different orifices installed in their burners but I think the natural gas supplier provided that service for FREE. I was just a teenager back then.
