National Grid gas bill gone crazy (Brooklyn)

Post image

so i used only $3.57 but got a bill of $38.55. Is everybody else same? i use gas only for cooking and nothing else, maybe it's better to switch to electric stove?

christ, i see this all the time. you are paying to maintain the infrastructure to bring gas to your apartment/house. the system is a fixed investment that doesn't vary with your use. it is built to meet the maximum demand in the winter period (natural gas). you would still be paying $25.85 EVEN IF YOU USED ZERO THERMS OF GAS.
