For years and years, TV advertised "clean inexpensive natural gas" to heat your home, your water, dry your clothes, etc.
Since 4/2003 to now in '04, my monthly gas bill has doubled. I just paid my third $200+ gas bill this heating season.
I've clocked my meter, and all of my appliances are running at the correct BTU rates. The furnace is old, but has been updated so that it no longer has a constant burning 'standing pilot.' Same thing for the hot water heater and clothes dryer. I keep the house temperature at 60 at night, and 65 when I want to really heat things up when I'm doing stuff.
Gasoline is high, natural gas is skyrocketing, food... well, you know... How can the middle class take this much longer? We dont seem to get the giant pay raises that we need, much less a 'cost of living raise' which is never enough.
How bad is the costs of heating your homes this winter?
My house is 1000 square feet. New windows, gas furnace, water heater, kitchen oven, and range, and dryer. I rarely cook anything! Nothing has a standing pilot, either. When everything is turned OFF, the gas meter does not move at all.
Any other testimonials?
