So let me get this straight, last year (2008) during the summer, a surge in the commodity prices occured, thus driving up the cost of natural gas.
Hmmm, I think we are going to get screwed.
Residents expected to pay less for heating
Read the full Story in the Buffalo NewsHere's some welcome news for cash-strapped consumers: Heating costs this winter are expected to drop by about 20 percent, saving a typical Buffalo Niagara resident more than $200.
Last year's heating bills, which averaged $1,187, were the highest ever, thanks to a surge in natural gas commodity prices during the spring and summer of 2008. A 20 percent reduction would save a typical customer more than $237 during the winter heating season, which runs from November through the end of March.
Think this is gonna happen?

They make it sound like a bargain.
Last year the cost of heat went up, this year it's lower (so far)

Dumbest post ever! Thanks for the laugh PO!
isnt that the truth. I live alone. I never have more than 2 lights on at a time and their 3 watt bulbs. and yet my electric bill is about $100 per month.

We had to put in a new furnace due to the old one dying at the end of the last season. I figure my tax rebate was well spent - got money back from Nat. Fuel and will get a credit on my Fed. taxes for hi-efficiency.......... But I do expect the cost to go down.
Cripe, just add up what you paid last year from checks you paid or by usage ( that is on your bill) or by budget billing in the balancing month..........divide by 12........you get what you paid per month. Do it after this year and figure out if you saved.
AND>>>>The person w/ther $100 elec. bill and only a few lights on? Check the utilites: refrigerator, tv, washer, dryer, computer left on, anything plugged in but not in use, cable box, etc. etc.... as long as it is plugged in, it might use something. TWC told us to shut off the box at night as they upgrade the system then and they can't if the cable box is on.
if I turn off my computer, I save $10 per month.
All that runs, really is the fridge. I no longer have a washer machine thanks to 18 inches of water in my basement.

It should be noted, that *I* got my power DIRECTLY from the Niagara Falls power plant. My power comes directly off the main line. The main line which runs from the falls to NYC. Most people get their power from the two local plants, *I* do not.
Aside from the fridge, and 2 alarm clocks, nothing else is 'running' for 12hrs per day. I know this for fact as all my 'sensitive stuff' tv, sorround sound, PC' runs thruogh a Line Conditioner, which I turn off when I leave... when its off, its OFF there is ZERO power draw.
When I get home, I turn on my computer, my tv (which is my monitor) my sorround sound system. and maybe a light or 2.
even so...
My neighbor, with 4 kids and a wife, their bill is like $110 a month.. they run multiple lights a fridge, a freezer a plasma, a couple tvs, game systems, a fan or two, for $110...

Delivery. Exactly what does that mean? Exactly how costly is that wire hanging to your house or the section that connects that part to your house from the pole. I think it's been paid for many many times over the years.

some minor variation of...
Delivery = Max(your Usage * ((total cost of operations + Profit) / total Kwh supplied), (total cost of operations + Profit) / Total Customers))
