Without getting into the chemistry and physics of the two different types of gases, natural gas has a higher btu output than liquid propane gas. In other words, higher available energy output/more energy efficient.

MMM wrong!!! Propane provides more energy per unit volume than does natural gas. Heat is measured in BTUs, or British Thermal Units. Propane provides about 2500 BTUs for the same volume of natural gas that only gives 1000 BTUs. However, natural gas can be less expensive at up to one-sixth the cost of propane
