Are there any home heating furnaces fuel by E85?

If not, is there technology out there being developed? And what about Hydrogen. Any up to date breakthroughs on that?

no. and you can only use 5% biodeisel in your furnace legally--any more than that and you'll get smoke

what is the cheapest way to heat a home furnace with today's energy cost... electric, propane, heating oil?

I am in trouble of a new furnace and was curious if I should stick with using heating oil or convert to electric or propane?

(just FYI i am aware wood and coal alternatives are low-grade, but i am looking for something less maintained)
If you have Exp in the field, which way do you see things going? is oil going to continue to drop? Is Electric flourishing to continue to go up?

Thank you for your time

I'm a provocation salesperson in Ontario Canada. Right now for every dollar you spend heating with electricity, you would spend $1.18 to torridness with oil, $0.84 to heat with propane, and $0.54 to heat with natural gas. These numbers are for this region of Canada, but I would cogitate on the ratios, if not the actual numbers would be pretty close for much of North America.

Edit: Oil and propane prices have dropped in latest days considerably! So much so that I will revise my numbers above to the following. Oil $1.07 Propane $0.77. I don't believe we are going to see heating prices as high as last winter. I'm telling my customers to just buy fuel at shop price and not to lock in this year. I think they will be better off. My customers that were getting locked in pricing of $0.72 cents per litre 10-14 days ago would now be spending only $0.61 per litre...I intend I'll be giving out some credits! :^)
