Filling a 20 pound propane tank around here costs around $15 or so. It has hard to compare the two, methane is a gas sold by the cubic foot and propane is a liquid sold by weight. Propane produces about twice the BTU per molecule as methane, so it probably is cheaper by the BTUs produced.

CNG is such a PITA to get I would not have it if my boat could use propane and I will have to kluge a propane tank on somehow if I do extended cruising away from CNG sources. I do all the cooking possible on the outside grill, so for now a tank usually lasts the year.

Anyone with CNG might want to look at this:

A bright spot in these dark times - cheap CNG gas :D  At two fills the
adapter has paid for itself. For the truly cheap sailor I discovered the
hose traps enough gas to put about 600 PSI into the tank *without
turning the pump on*. I could not pay ANYTHING for CNG if I didn't mind
getting it 600 PSI at a time LOL.
