Apparently warm weather causes you to use less gas. Do you understand that you can put a sweater on instead of turning the thermostat up? Like, it is an actual option that people choose?

That's nothing to do with the fact that you use less gas in warm weather than cold weather.

Whatever you or I set our thermostats to, whether or not you or I wear a sweater, we will use less gas if the outside temperature is higher and more if it is colder.

The amount of power to maintain a temperature in a house is proportional to the temperature difference between inside and outside.
