A real $$ world example:

In South Texas, I pay 0.14 USD/Kwh electricity

It costs 27.00 USD to fill a 20# bottle, this is adjusted for efficiency 3.29 gallons. 27 USD / 3.29 gallon is 8.20 USD/gallon.

Apply conversion factor and you get 8.2* 0.037 is 0.30 USD/Kwh

As usual: Your amount of Btus out of a 20# may vary

So, in my case electricity is less than half the cost of propane.
You need to find a new propane dealer. It only costs $15.75 for a 30# tank [17.50 delivered to the park] here [Mission, Tx.].
