You will most likely have natural gas in urban housing areas and propane in rural housing areas. Natural gas is lighter than air and is 138,000 BTUs a gallon, while propane is heavier than air and is 90,000 BTUs per gallon.

Natural gas is a lighter gas than propane. Liquid propane gas contains 2,500 BTUs per cubic foot, while natural gas contains 1000 BTUs per cubic foot. It takes twice as much natural gas to reach the same BTU rate as propane. Natural gas enters your home through a pipeline from a local supplier and propane is stored in a tank.
