Nationally I'm sure there are many in the same situation. I don't pump my own water and I heat with
natural gas. But so do millions of other who figure into the 'US average'.

Those must be the ones who "use 30% of their electricity on lights"
(or whatever number you want to use.

I would also believe it is city thinking that most people have nat gas
coming to their house. When I was in Maryland, the gas line stopped
about 10 miles outside the beltway going South.
They may have expanded that by now.

This house had gas when we moved in '95. It was the only one of the 'new' houses in this circle with
gas. Now the one next to me has gas also. But, gas has not worked its way around the circle. My gas
is recalculated every year and we pay a constant $36/month - this year. It doesn't vary much from
year to year. Adding that to my electric would get me up to $150/mo, which is still way less than
half the US national average.

I feel so good now I may buy my model airplane for my birthday!
