The same is true in Virginia. My daughter uses gas. When she threatened to switch suppliers, her

company decided it had been charging her too much and gave her a refund of over $2000.

With wholesale prices at around $1/gal, anyone paying much over $2/gal
(+tax) is paying too much and should negotiate for a better deal.

Agreed. I pay a $50 per year rental fee to the company that buried my tank, and buy my propane from another company that gives me a good deal. I save more than $50 in a single fill of the 250 gallon tank.

In terms of bang for the buck where do store bought elec., gasoline (all
grades), #2 fuel oil (diesel/heating), propane, natural gas, solar,
hydro, and JP5 rank?

Different people will calculate different answers depending on local
fuel prices and availability of generation options. There is also
the issue of operating expense vs capital outlay, and how many years
you choose for depreciating your investment.

Generating your own electricity from hydrocarbon fuels is almost
always the most expensive option. Purchase of utility generated hydro
power is usually the cheapest.
