I just did a cost per minute comparison on my new Whisperlite Universal.

MSR IsoPro canister gas 6.5 cents per minute.

Coleman premium grade white gas 4.5 cents per minute

Standard Coleman white gas 1.5 cents per minute.

Those were based on MSR's burn times for the various fuels then I just figured that against what I pay locally for each fuel type.

MSR IsoPro - 5 dollars for 8oz canister

Coleman Premium - 10 dollars for 32oz

Coleman standard - 10 dollars for 1 gal

Burn times;

IsoPro 80z - 75 minutes

Coleman gas 20oz - 110 minutes

1 liter water boil time;

IsoPro - 3.75 minutes

Coleman gas - 3.5 minutes
