One problem I see with your comparison is that you don't factor in the cost of time. Time to cut, gather, etc. Granted it is good exercise but that is also a very real 'cost' and it is something that must be considered. My gas bill, for a 4000 sq.ft. home is roughly $200 per month. My home has some winter passive solar assist and on sunny days we actually gain heat.

Your points about the costs of energy are excellent. I recall reading an article a while back about a police department that decided to park its cars for most of the day and reduce night patrols too. The cost of gasoline would have bankrupted the department. The chief told people to buy guns and call them if there was a problem.

I also know that the US POSTAL SYSTEM is getting chewed up by high energy costs, expect another stamp increase soon.
