The best answer I have found is that one kw of electricity = .024 gallons of USA No. 2 Heating Oil, or one gallon of the oil = 40.6 kw. It is also important to understand the efficiency of the device which converts the fuel energy to the desired product, such as heat or motion. My source for the above is http://www.energykinetics.com/heatingfuelcomparisons.html

For gas and oil water heaters, you need to know the unit cost of fuel by BTU (British thermal unit) or therm (1 therm = 100,000 BTU).
