$530.

I know people are going to tell me to use the budget plan, but we're fine people. We know what our gas bill will be in the winter. It's nice to reallocate that money to other things in the summer.

If you have the money to pay a 500$ gas bill then that’s fine and dandy. Budget helps people who don’t.

I mean, arguably if you have the money to pay $120 on a month when your gas bill would be $10, you're also rolling. I just prefer budgeting for the peaks and valleys.

Same. $361 but I know it will be high 3 months of the year and really low 9 months of the year.

Ours was $508. Highest gas bill I've ever paid.

We have two furnaces though and I'm assuming that cold snap was on this bill. Been seasonally warm since then so hoping for a $300 or so next month.

We also have two - one for the first two floors and a 2nd for the 3rd. Pre-covid that kept our bills pretty low because we rarely used the third floor. But now it's highly trafficked home office and runs almost as much as the main furnace.

I considered the budget plan myself...but my bill in August is like $30. If I build up a balance in the late winter I just pay it off during july/aug on my own

Any time I’ve been on a budget plan there’s been a huge bill at the end of it when I close the account. It’s pretty much just kicking the can down the road.
