> I prefer gas. At least where I live it's more cost effective than electric. In fact, my electric bill in my 1 bedroom apartment (all heating was electric) was just a tad lower than my gas + electric when I moved into a much bigger house.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but the last sentence seems to illustrate that electricity is more cost-efficient.
