If we used 9553 ccf of Natural Gas last year, how many gallons of Propane would that be equal to.

A ccf of NG and a gallon of propane have similar heat content. (A gallon of gasoline has about 1/3 more). But to be precise:
9553 ccf x 1.077 = 10,288 gallons of propane.
That's a lot of fuel in one year! Propane will cost you more. It always does. But in some locations, you can't get natural gas.
I'll show my work:
Net BTUs per cubic foot of methane (natural gas) is 913. So 91,300 BTU in a ccf (100 cubic feet).
Net BTUs per pound of propane: 19,944
Pounds of propane per gallon: 4.25
Net BTUs per gallon of propane: 84,762
91300/84762=1.077

you would need to convert that amount of gas to either caloric units or BTUs and then work backwards to the volume of propane.
