Nat gas price

[pete f]

March is trading around 7.65, almost 1/2 of the highs hit after the h'canes. I know most raised prices one way or another. Anyone decrease now? I thought I would leave mine high for another few months, then when my next insuance bill came I would just post that on the wall to maintain higher prices.

Why would you lower your prices? What other business do you know that ever lowers their prices?

[Fred50]

THe price is still double what it was only 2 years ago. We are just starting to make up for the rapid increase in the last couple of years. Why on earth would anyone drop their prices???

[laschmove]

Same here. Our bill is going down 36% next month. No price decrease at all from us.

Umm, how about gas stations as an example of businesses that raise and lower their vend prices as the price they pay fluctuates.

I never raised my price, so I'm not lowering it now. Then again, I don't have the crazy natural gas companies you guys have on the east coast and I also don't run a furnance in the winter.

I have yet to see a decrease in my natural gas bill. Has anyone actually seen a decrease on theirs yet? On that note, I don't plan to lower my prices back to last year's level since it seems in this industry we seem to lag behind on the increases anyway. When your rent goes up each year, do you raise prices? Probably not, you probably wait a couple of years then raise a quarter. Let's keep our prices up as it's only a matter of time before the "normal" expenses catch up.

7.21 today. and my insurance bills are comming in, an average of 30% increases. What was CPI last year? LOL! Guess it makes 10% rent increase look good ( trip nets paying quick rising ins and Re tax) With fast rising short term rates, which many loans are tied to, like my last equipment loan, that 6% summer '04 is now 9.75%. Ouch. I think the easy money has been made. Guess there is the one silver linning, gas is getting cheaper

Just got my February bill (for gas mostly consumed during January). The full price, including delivery, was $1.89/therm, down 0.01/therm from last month. The bottom line was lower, mostly because January was unseasonably warm and we used less for space-heating. Water-heating and drying were about the same as last month.

I raised prices 25c on all washers on November 1. I moved the larger machines (40, 50, and 55-pounders) up another 25c on February 1. I have had only one complaint about pricing, so far. I have no plans to roll back, even if gas drops to September's price.

We got our bill on Friday. Down a little over 40% from last month. A very welcome change indeed.

Just got my bill for Jan, it was UP 40 cents a therm compared to December. My supplier told me that the bill for Feb will be 70 cents lower than Jan -- they have a strange way of pricing.

Why dont you just guy your gas from your local gas company? It sure seems your paying wild prices all the time. Would be a more even bill from the local company I would think a lot lower too. It is for me.

Not true in this neck of the woods. Each month the gas company prints a price per therm to compare if you bought your gas from them, it is almost always a higher number than what I pay to my commodity supplier.

Our gas co. has to get aproval before they can raise the prices. They just got a 17% increase in November we pay just over a dollar per therm

Just got the January gas bill... $5400!! $1200 more than last year for about the same consumption. Raised my toploader prices to $1.50 today. Dryer time was already 6 2/3 min per quarter.

The dec bill came in at 1.275 for gas, plus the delivery/swing

Next month should be gas in the .820 range for me.

I shortened my dry time in December to 6/23 min, and this week I raised my top-loads to $1.50. My gas price is around $1.50 per therm.
