Lol, mine was $16.95. It would have been $13.00(no usage), but my cat turned up the thermostat one day which caused the heat to come on for a little while before I came home.AOD said:Mine was $18.63 last month.

I see you have been married for a while!
It was my stupidity. The thermostat was located very close to the stove so I wired up another one in our bedroom, which is much further from the stove (disconnected the one near the stove). This way the heat can kick on if it's truly needed and in a reasonable amount of time. I did this as a temporary experiment and never screwed the programmable t-stat to the wall, I just left it sitting on a table in our BR. Well the cat came by and must have stepped on it and kicked it over to the default "auto" set point of 75° one day before we came home... hence the $3.95 worth of gas usage.AOD said:How does your cat turn up your thermostat?
I am stuck with a $10 "customer charge" which I don't like. I should call and complain, and threaten to disconnect unless they drop it. Only thing I really need gas for is when I go away overnight in the winter.
