Is it cheaper to have a 15 minute shower powered by electricity or a bath heated by oil-fired central heating?

Turning the electricity on for 15 minutes or running the oil for an hour?Is it cheaper to have a 15 minute shower powered by electricity or a bath heated by oil-fired central heating?
going by my old 'selectos burner'if i run it for one hour it will heat 30 gallon of water and heat four rads for 1/4 of a gallon of oil,cost about 50 pence,....if you run a electric shower for 15 minutes burning say 8 k.w at 12 pence = cost is 24 pence approx,but no more hot water.Is it cheaper to have a 15 minute shower powered by electricity or a bath heated by oil-fired central heating?
Both are cheaper than a luxury yacht. The important thing to remember is to take a bath or a shower when you are dirty. Taking a luxury yacht would be an expensive mistake!
