Cylinder Gas for Domestic Heating Costs

Hi
I am looking at a 2 bed 1870's mid-terrace house with a combi boiler run off cylinder gas (plus wood burning stove). The thought of the heating costs are putting me off though!
Typically, how big a difference is the running costs compared to mains gas?

Typically, how big a difference is the running costs compared to mains gas?I'm really out of touch of the costs of bottled LPG but there are around 14kWh in a kg.If a kg of gas costs £1.50, that's 11p/kWh. Mains gas is closer to 4p/kWh for most people, so LPG is almost 3x the price.N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile. Ripple Kirk Hill member.
