The State of NH Office of Strategic Initiatives has a nice Fuel Price comparison page that they keep up to date (and are adjusted according to cost per MMBTU):

https://www.nh.gov/osi/energy/energy-nh/fuel-prices/index.ht...

You can see that as of June 2, measured at $ per MMBTU (million BTU):

  Natural Gas           $8.31
  Oil                  $17.62
  Propane              $32.93
  Wood pellets         $21.92
  Resistive electric   $48.84
  Air src heat pump    $18.74
The fossil fuels are all measured assuming 80% heating efficiency, whereas for propane or natural gas you might well have a high efficiency unit up to 97% which gains you a bit more savings.

These prices may vary depending on location and also I think natural gas isn't that common in NH as it's a mostly rural state.
