What is the cost of usable energy for driving and heating our homes?

Green Car Congress

This analysis compares the costs of usable energy when we buy gasoline and electricity for driving and natural gas for keeping warm. The average retail cost of regular gasoline in 2018 was $2.719 per gallon. Consequently, the average cost of the available energy from gasoline is $0.226 per 10,000 Btu. per 100 kWh.
