Therm price

[SoooperDave]

Folks,
I'm paying 99 cents/therm today.

It's well publicized that NG prices have gone down drastically over the last year. Yet i was paying 36 cents/therm a year ago.

I've called the company - and they haven't been helpfull in clearing this contradiction up.
What are you folks paying per therm these days ?

How do you come up with the price per therm. from your gas bill ?
I had read carefully my gas bill before and I could not even see the word "Therm " printed in the bill ? However, at this board, the word "therm " have been used consistently for the gas rate.

Robert,

Look at your gas bill and you'll find that you used XXX ccf. "Ccf" mean 100 cubic feet of gas. This amount of gas is commonly called a "therm".

Continueing to scan your gas bill, you'll see something like a "gas cost recovery". Next to that, you should see the total ccf units on that bill multiplied by the gas cost recovery rate. To the right of that you should see a dollar figure. This is the cost of the actual gas that you are paying for on that gas bill. All the other dollar figures on that bill are for the cost of getting the gas to your laundromat (distribution charge), surcharges and taxes.

Normally, when we talk about the cost of our gas here on this BB, we are talking about the TOTAL COST per ccf. To get this figure you take your total bill (the amount you will pay) and divide by the number of ccf to get your total cost per ccf.

Gas bills can be actual reads or estimated and the number of days covered by a bill can vary from 27 to 33 or more. Sometimes, when a utility has a rate increase coming down the pike a month from now; they'll estimate this month's bill on the low side so that next month, when the new rate increase is effective, they can do an actual read and charge you the new rate for that month's gas plus some of the previous month's gas that didn't get billed on the previous month's low estimate bill. Pretty clever, eh? They just figure that nobody will catch on to this scheme ... but I did.
