LoVal & HiVal explanation
This is the "Big Kahuna" of energy tabulations.  If you are facing an energy decision - buying or building a house, or moving to a new area, this is what you have *got* to have.  The information contained in here could save you countless thousands of dollars over the years.  

Let's look at the sample data above.  If you heat with Bottled/LP gas in Connecticut, expect to pay an average of nearly $400 per month, 12 months per year, for energy costs. Wow!  It's nearly $100 per month cheaper for LP gas users in North Dakota! It's even $26 a month cheaper in Alaska! But if you look at the nearby states - Massachusetts, Vermont, New Jersey - all have high energy costs for LP users. Maine is interesting - although colder than Connecticut, LP gas users save about $70 per month, or $820 per year in Maine as compared with Connecticut.  

Contrast Connecticut with Arizona - the most economical state for heating with LP gas. You'll pay slightly over 1/2 as much in Arizona, which means you'll save nearly $2400 a year in Arizona.   Now before you consider that Arizona is pretty warm and doesn't need much heat, remember that we are looking at *total* energy cost here, including electricity for air conditioning.  The bottom line is that if you are going to use LP gas, you are far better off in Arizona than in Connecticut.  What is the most economical fuel in Connecticut?  Or in your state?  The tabulation will tell you.  In fact, the tabulation shows us that the least economical fuel choice/state combination costs more than 10 times as much as the most economical combination.  If you are choosing a heating system, this is information that you cannot afford to be without.  

To get the full report - giving the same detail as we see above, except containing every type of energy recorded by the US Census Bureau, for every state in the US, get our pre-prepared report.  It's easy to get - you pay via PayPal (we never see your credit card information) and it's delivered to you by PayLoadz.

It will be delivered in two different formats: .csv (Comma Separated Values) for the technical number-crunching spreadsheet users, and also as .htm (just a plain ol' web page) for the people who just want to look at the numbers and don't have any special software.

What can you expect to learn from reading your tabulation? You'll be reading US Census Bureau numbers to find out what average nationwide monthly energy costs are, based on state and choice of heating fuel.

It's difficult to put the value of this tabulation in words. There is already a 10X difference between the "best" and "worst" combinations, and it may well increase as energy costs go up. If you are choosing a heating system, it would be foolhardy to not consider the information contained in this tabulation, especially when you consider that you will probably be enduring the costs of the system for 20+ years, and this tabulation can pay for itself in well under a week in saved energy costs.
