Gas uses less energy to produce heat than electricity.
Put simply you burn the gas to produce the heat immediately
Electricity is produced at an external venue, conveyed to your house via transmission lines, including associated losses in this process and then it heats an element to produce the heat in your house.
Gas is depending on where you live in the world the cheapest option Solar hydronic, whilst initially expensive is the most cos effective long term. If your not in a sunny area try exploring evacuated tube solar technology that works off UV light not infra red heat.
Hyrdonic heating also has the advantage of being a static heat in that it is not transferred by the movement of air from a fan.

How much cheaper is natural gas heating than oil heating?
== == It depends on where you live and the cost of the fuel. You have to convert to the heating value of gas and oil, factor in efficiency, and then compare the cost per BTU's. For example: Determine the cost of gas vs. oil in your area: For example, heating oil in Seattle is $4.10 per gallon while gas is $1.09 per therm. Next, calculate the cost of fuel per MMBTU's. Knowing that heating oil has 138,690 BTU per gallon and natural gas has 100,000 BTU per therm, you can calculate using this equation: $ cost --------- X 1,000,000 = cost per MMBTU BTU's The result of the above step is $29.56/MMBTU for oil, and $10.87/MMBTU for gas. Next, divide the above by the efficiency of the furnace. Oil furnaces are 80 to 90% efficient and gas furnaces are typically 83% efficient. The net cost of the fuel per MMBTU is $34.78 for oil and $13.09 for gas in this scenario. If your old house uses 63 MMBTU a heating season, that is a total of $2,200 for oil and $824 for gas for the whole heating season

You have not specified your question well enough. If you're looking for their general comparisons, here they are: Gas Oven Temperature vs Electrical Oven Temperature # Gas oven temperature can vary slightly more than electrical oven's. # When certain holes in a gas oven is is clogged with oil, they may cause explosion. # Electrical oven's temperature can be more uniform.
