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.

A unit of heating value equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs).

look for therm
100 therm is more then 3.20 therm
There are 100,000 BTU (British Thermal Units) in a therm.
therm means heat
BTU should be a measure of heating content, so it will vary with composition. However, in the US, 1 cubic ft of natural gas = 1,028 BTU. 1 therm = 100,000 BTU 100 cf = 0.1 Mcf approximately 1 therm (th). or more exactly 0.0972 Mcf = 1 th. See natural gas under wikipedia.
1 Therm is equal to 100,000 BTU.
Therm-O-Disc was created in 1947.
'Therm' is from Classical Greece, and means 'heat'. As in 'thermometer' ; heat measurer.
The therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 BTU.
100 cubic feet equals 1 therm
