Because the cost of switching infrastructure to another form of energy is more expensive than to begin drilling for oil in a new position.
gas valve and pilot assebley cost more
Newer VW's (last 20 years), it doesn't really matter. Cheaper, low octane gas can cause knocking (early detonation), but the knock sensor will retard the car's ignition timing preventing knocking, but this will cause slightly poorer gas mileage. Thing is, the extra cost of the poor gas mileage isn't more expensive than the cost of higher octane gas, so it's pretty much a wash. Older VW's without knock sensors can have poorer gas mileage with cheap gasoline. This knocking will happen under hard acceleration. The knocking will be worse with higher compression (over 1: 8.5) engines like in the GTi, Cabriolet and Scirocco.
Natural gas is generally more cost effective since it cooks quicker and costs less.
They do get poorer fuel mileage with E10 so that in itself means the E10 produces more pollution because you use more fuel.
Propane can be slightly more cost efective to opperate.
The main difference between a LED Lantern and a Gas Lantern is cost. Gas Lanterns cost around 6-7 times more to run and more harmful to the environment.
The gas compressors cost a lot more to maintain. While the electric units will cost a lot less, and also be able to lift a lot more than the gas units.
The cost of a gallon of gas at any time is more a variable of geographic location than anything else.
Gas is a liquid, unless you are referring to Natural Gas which cost more to transport than oil which is used to manufacture gasoline.
electric generated heat is 70% more expensive than gas generated heat .
The cost to fill a gas tank in a van will depend on the rice of gas. The higher the price of gas, the more it will cost to fill the gas tank. You will need to know how many gallons it takes to fill the tank and the price per gallon of fuel. You do the math.
Gas heating and cooling systems are relativly cheaper for the initial cost but the cost to heat and cool with gas cost more in the long run.Water heat cost more for the initial equipment purchase but for the long run cheaper monthly bills than a gas heating system.It may take 10 years to see the savings installing water heat.Where as gas heating systems are cheaper you shall see instant savings but over time pay more monthly.
