I swapped out a perfectly good electric range for gas when I bought my place, thinking it would save money. I plumbed it myself, so that was less than $100. The stove was about 350.00 + a conversion kit. Figure about $500.00. I did not notice any significant drop in the electric bill, and now I gotta buy propane at $5 and up per gallon.....Over the years gasoline has gone up and down, but the propane has steadily risen.
I think the only real advantage is the instant heat and no worries about power outages. YMMV.
