LPG vs Mains Gas

Any ideas of the price comparison between off grid LPG and mains on grid gas, we are looking to have a calor system installed and cannot find reliable data to see the expenditure difference between the two.
Thank you

We can't get mains gas where we are, and from the bit of research I did, LPG looked very expensive (we're on oil). I think mains gas is the most cost effective.

Mains gas is cheaper but it depends how far you are away from the network.
With an LPG tank you actually rent it from your chosen gas supplier. They will maintain it and replace it or any of the safety controls associated with it. You are on a contract to supply gas, much like mains gas.
An oil tank is soley your responsibility and you can chop and change supplier every time you fill up. You do need to notify your home insurance that you have an oil tank in case you have a leak and contaminate the environment.
Calor should be able to tell you what size rank you need and the cost to fill it.
