I bet there is an epic level evil super villain amount of embezzlement going on inside Peoples Gas...

During Jan and Feb last year, and after including all charges, I paid around a $1.50 per therm. Problem is in April, May, June, July, August, September, October, and November I pay more like $8-$9 dollars per therm because they inject such large bullshit charges that have nothing to do with delivering gas to me. Never a break from their greed.

If you turn off all of your gas appliances for a whole month, you will still owe them $60+ for the month, simply because they have your information on file and have been allowed by the state to charge you flat fees to fund their future construction projects that will not benefit you at all. Simply put, it's legal theft...and yet somehow the revenue STILL isn't enough for them.

I'll get this January's bill in February. Let's see how it goes. Hopefully, it will stay under $200. I'm aiming for much lower, but we will see. My furnace was off for the last week of December, and my gas bill was still close to $150 for 3 weeks. Now the furnace has been cleaned inside and out, tightened up, and runs quieter than ever. I installed a new blower motor two years ago. New ignition coil 3 years ago. The joint is weatherized. If this next bill is another record high bill, I'm going to run for President.
