This analysis compares the costs of usable energy when we buy gasoline and electricity for driving and natural gas for keeping warm. Combustion of a gallon of gasoline (that includes ethanol) releases 120,333 Btu of energy. Consequently, the average cost of the available energy from gasoline is $0.226 per 10,000 Btu.
