Since this is now a gas thread would be nice to see your actual therms/ccfs used
Ok.
11/29 thru 12/29/21

Delivery charges at $53.00
229.73 therms used at $.1067 = 24.51
Monthly customer chg = $23.55
Volume Balancing adj $.0028 = $.64
Environmental cost recovery $.0075 = $1,72
Franchise cost adj = $.19
Efficiency program $.0086 = $1.98
Qualified Infrastructure chrg $3.43 @ .68% = $.02
Qualified Infrastructure chrg $47.99 @ .58% = $.28
Tax cost adj $.0005 = $.11

Natl Gas Cost 229.73 x $.68 = $156.22

Taxes (not bothering to include the breakdown. I can if you want) $16.49

Total of bolded = $225.71

Questions?
None if you were in california you'd pay 229.75*2.46~$565 :lol: + taxes/etc which another $70 ! 640 ish?

Getting back to electricity, my 'leccy bill is even more confusing,
It says I used 16.7 kwh, but elsewhere it says I used 484kwh :iono:

In a nutshell,

Supply was $35.22
Delivery was $32.38
Taxes and :bs: fees were $8.28

:iono:

So your total cost was ~$84 for 484 kw? which seems ~17c per kw. :notbad: but not great.

It was a requirement for us, 0/7 want to deal with propane.

Which pushes us into a :waxer: area since the more affordable areas are still propane. I bet our gas costs are higher than other regions as a result. I don't have any old bills from out Detroit house to compare.
Interestingly when I bought the gas grill for the place in Mexico I had it fitted with LP nipples...............only to find that the entire 6 tower condo complex is fueled by huge propane tanks. No muni gas to the project.
And I imagine gas use is minimal. No real heating demand, probably just for cooking stove/grill. Probably very little municipal gas in the entire country.

Crazy, zero consistency with yours and mine on billing. BUT Max posted that 1 CCF is 1.03 Therm, so essentially 1:1. You indeed use more and pay more in total with fees and taxes than I do. Total/use is pretty similar.

:notbad:

That I’m not sure you may have a “multiple supplier” sitch. Some power companies try to say part of the energy is “green”

Well actually that is not the case. Although I put A/C in the place I have fired up the compressor................twice. The heater gets a major workout in the November to February mornings brah, I've got 95% humidity, total marine layer and mid 50s going on outside. I also have a gas stove. There seems to be this Mexico misconception that every place is hot but I moved to an oceanfront location 20 miles south of San Diego.

Yeah but the San Dog town gets a little chilly from time to time. You are saying portable heaters and donezo?

If he is at 650 sq ft or so.. he is proportionally at the same gas usage as I am at 1900. And we’re at the same climate at the moment. SD is slightly warmer actually

HOLD THE BUS

I just realized I :derp: 'd out and posted November's electric bill. :wtf: :moran:

Here's my December bill:

631 kwh

$45.92 supply
$37.91 delivery
$10.69 taxes and fees
$94.92 total

So about $320 combined gas and electric for December.

I am an idiot.

I know that one man is not directly responsible for this, but still, on principle, fuck joe biden. For many things, but in this example actively destroying the energy economy and driving up cost (for those that can least afford it as well). this kind of increase in NG cost will show up as anywhere between a 2x or 3x factor in electric bills where the utility relies heavily on NG fired electricity generation too. Thank god here in his country we get over half our power from falling water and splittin atoms.

We don't even use portable heaters :lol: Michelle throws some extra blankets on her side of the bed and I'm good even in the coldest of San Diego winter nights under just a basic bitch blanket.. shit I still sweat most nights. We also have a 75lb German Shepherd dumping all her body heat into our bed at night as well though.

I think just from how much we both cook, plus the showers. She takes unreasonably hot and long showers, and I could for sure cut the time that I'm in there down. Not sure what else would be using gas at all.
