Price comparison bottled gas and city gas

[fabio.gel]

I have been wondering for a while what would be the best in terms of price for my gas stove.

The bottle or city gas?

Having town gas at home (for heating domestic water), I peeled my bill and I was able to compare.

I consume around 152 cubic m / year of gas for the gas stove.

On my GDF invoice the conversion coefficient between cubic m and Kwh is 11,09.

152x11,09 = 1686 Kwh
The price per Kwh HT: 0.07160
1686x0.07160 = 121 € HT the VAT is 19.6% (24 €)

Total / year = 145 € + 60 € subscription = 205 €

Now I look at the price of a load of a gas bottle
at Carouf = 24 €.

Knowing that the energy capacity of a 13 kg butane bottle is 179 kWh.


http://www.primagaz.fr/majic/FAQ-Bouteille-de-gaz.htm

My consumption of 1686/179 = 9.4 bottle of Gas / year
9.4 x 24 = 225 €

If I haven't planted the gas in the bottle is more expensive for my use (and my back is happy)

Which makes perfect sense right? I expected an even bigger difference ...

But we don't even compare the same products since city gas is methane and therefore natural gas from gas wells ... Bottled gas from butane / propane (therefore from petroleum refining) ...

It is true Christophe if there were only me the oil would have been abandoned for a long time (all the time that it will be present in our daily life we ​​will be able to advance only very slowly !!!)

it is the subscription which complicates

someone who consumes 2 times less gas would pay less with butane bottles than with city gas

the subscription is anti ecological because it makes pay especially the most economical

if the state wanted to favor the economy rather than confuse everything with the terif gas plant that it prepares for us, it should simply impose to reduce (or even remove) the subscriptions offset by a small increase in the tariff

that would make the means of saving more profitable

The subscription is fixed in this case. And paid anyway.

It is then better to calculate in what economists call "marginal cost": the cost of additional consumption.

Bottled gas = 225 euros

Gas, without subscription (since it is already paid for DHW anyway) is 145 euros.

Of course you have an interest in plugging into city gas !!!

[remember to change the sprinklers on the gas range or the plate !!!]

Is there bottled natural gas?

[Ahmed]

Even if no confusion exists in your minds, "town" gas is an incorrect name since it referred to gas manufactured from hard coal.
It would be better, for greater clarity, to speak of natural gas distributed in network or, at least, to avoid the qualifier "of city".

I found a little anecdote on biogas and TIPP, excellent.

"When I was banned from driving on gas, the greenhouse effect was not really known. Now reducing greenhouse gases is a priority. The government should do everything to encourage biogas installations. in January 99, an official from the Ministry of the Environment contacted me again to tell me that I had to pay the TIPP and that he was going to come and have a meter installed for my stove and my boiler! "Oh my boy if you come, you, you find yourself in the tank! ".
He didn't come. "
