Oil heating is available, should one rather convert to gas for better performance?

Hello everyone,
I hope this post does not already exist.

The following....
We have bought a mid-terrace house (1960) with 95 sqm of living space, spread over 3 floors (split-level). There is an existing central oil heating system installed. This was already renewed a few years ago.
Now my question.
Should we convert to gas heating here? Or should we keep the oil heating and only replace the radiators?
We want to act in a future-oriented way and not save money in the wrong place.
Acquaintances have advised us to keep the oil heating, as the price for gas is currently enormously high, but oil is also a fossil fuel that will not exist on our planet forever.

We would appreciate pros and cons of gas or oil.

When exactly? And what kind of technology / boiler type is it? And how much oil does it consume on average per year? (Or the previous owners)

And what is wrong with the radiators?

We now have oil and it is really very expensive. In our old apartment we had gas and it was much cheaper.

Wait a moment. Oil and gas are currently both so cheap that it is hardly possible to heat more cheaply. This is especially true for existing buildings and when there is no surface heating (underfloor heating).

Heating oil: approx. 6.3 cents per kWh
Gas: approx. 5.5 cents per kWh
District heating: approx. 7.5 cents per kWh
[Electricity: approx. 29 cents per kWh]

But I dare to claim that in the long term a renewed rise in oil prices is more likely than that of gas prices.

That's what your crystal ball says. Mine says that the gas price will also rise when heating oil goes up. Although oil price linkage no longer exists on paper, the market still reacts accordingly. Especially and particularly with increases.
