Methane, ethane, and propane are used primarily as fuels; they are, in decreasing order, the most common constituents of natural gas. Propene, like most other unsaturated hydrocarbons, can be used as a fuel, but generally is not, because it is more economically valuable as a starting material for making more valuable products such as iso-propyl alcohol.
