Propane, I can't recommend it enough. Cheap at twice the cost. I currently use it for domestic water heating and cooking, one stove upstairs and one down. I do not recommend it for area heating (some do) I started asking friends and co-workers decades a go if I could have their tanks when expired, the 20 and 30 pound sizes. Needless to say I have a lot of tanks now, they cost me nothing.
 I have a friend down the road who heats his trailer with propane and the big truck comes out to do that once a year. I show up that day with the tanks I have acquired over the year and he fills my expired tanks up for a little cash. Because the propane is off the truck (used for home heating)there is none of that road tax on it such as would be applied if you brought a propane tank into a gas station for a fill. Got two 30 pounders filled this fall for 40 dollars (Canadian). I used to get 100 pounders filled but no more, the days when I could bear hug a 100 pounder onto a truck are over. 30 pounders are just the right size.
 I have one of those cheap on demand water heaters and since it is just me in the house now I know my usage. It is between 3 and not more than 4 30 pounders a year for domestic water heating. A very reasonable amount I think. For stove use, and I only have to use the gas stove Nov, Dec, January I go through two 30 pounders. I use electric cooking through spring summer and fall as Solar power is plentiful again. Propane is a great fuel to store, does not go bad, and is of little cost when you get your tanks for free. Just a idea, a option for others to consider. can never have enough options.
