It is astonishing to hear your base rate to be hooked up to natural gas. My gas bill arrived yesterday. For the honor of having an account, and a meter in my yard it cost me $33.35 per month. Add in the "franchise fee", and city tax and my grand total is $36.20 per month if I used no gas. Right now the only gas we use is for hot water, and cooking on the stove top. That was $4.83 for the last month.
I signed up for a program they offer that averages the bill over the year, and divides by 12 so I pay the same amount each month. It is $71 per month or $852 for the year, and that includes the insane February we had with a week of below zero temperatures, and the gas spot market going to insane levels. Bottom line my actual gas usage was $417.60 and the base rate for having a meter is $434.4 so my base service cost more than the gas I used.
It was really nice last winter to just stay warm and toasty in the house. We had no interruptions or problems except the ice and insane cold outside.
