I can't figure out just how in all hell to find out of the kwh cost is lower with gasoline though.. I guess I have to spend a lot for the most efficient one, yeah? If it works like most things
Anyone making one that will run on waste oil.. by chance?

Don't you live in Florida? Your heat needs shouldn't be too much. It rarely gets below 32 so there is very little danger of pipes freezing. I would just focus on turning down (or off) your furnace to some minimal temperature and try heating only your bedroom(s) with an electric heater with the door closed. That and sleep with clothes and coats on along with blankets.
Running on gasoline is almost certainly going to be more expensive than what your local power companies charge - even those in Florida. If you have a free source of wood then wood burning might be a way to go but if you're in Florida I wouldn't go too crazy investing for this. Solar is a better idea if you own the home.
