My gas consumption was 73 for December; ten more than what they claim my average is. My highest consumption I could find was in the 90's. I should also mention we have the highest energy efficient furnace available when we built 6 yrs. ago.

assuming the 90s... 10 ccf = 1 mcf so lets say you used 10 (rounded up)...your house with my bill would be $149 for the gas, approx $30 for the delivery, approx $10 for processing, plus tax..about $200 incl tax.. the big plus and i mean a big plus for your house is that it is 6 yrs old.. mine is 43yrs old...

That's a bummer....43 yrs. old. I don't think you mentioned that when you stated the square footage at first. My low costs must be from being more energy efficient and the 95% energy efficient furnace. I agree with your post about preferring new construction. Beside them being built tighter, you usually get a more open floorplan, larger closets and things like larger garages that accomodate the way we live today. Otoh, I'm sure your current house has not depreciated like mine has. We get to line our pockets a little with the low utility costs and lose it all at the closing table.

My house was built in the 90's... I am guessing that natural gas is just cheaper in some areas than others.

Natural gas does vary in different areas and it has nothing to do with it's availability but more with the greed of the utility company. The PUCO supposedly is watching over us but somehow everytime our gas or electric provider asks for a rate increase, they approve it. Recently they did catch our electric company charging for something ridiculous and forced them to rebate "only" one month's worth of the charge. I have even gone further to anticipate my LV utility costs by checking out the ccf's and killowat hour rates of the providers but discovered that's worthless. It's impossible to compare apples to apples because even if they quote a lower rate, the bills get trumped up so much by administrative fees and transmission fees.

As someone who is familiar with the gas industry, don't lump SWG in with NV energy. When was the last time your SWG bill went up significantly? Heating homes here is relatively *cheap* in my humble opinion. My 1600 SF house that we heat liberally (I crank up the heat whenever I'm even slightly cold) is running us $100ish per month. I can't complain!
