My beef is with billing. We moved from SoCal (SoCal Gas) where our last year bill for this month was $58. I compared useage and we are almost exactly the same. SW Gas charges $109. Since their rates are higher, taxes are higher. Also, their standard fees are double what our old ones were. To add insult to injury, there is a $9.84 EEP weather adj charge. I called to find out what that is..."since winter has been warmer and you are using less gas than predicted, we charge that fee." Really?!? I have to pay a fee for NOT using as much over-priced gas.
I am interested in seeing if rates go down now that the oil/gas market is tanking. Doubt it, but we'll see.
