Another reason my gas bill is low, is that we are on budget billing. It's the same price all 12 months of the year (we have all gas appliances at our house).
There are several advantages of year-round billing - the main one is it makes monthly budgeting a lot easier. They do change the monthly billing amount if you make a major change in your gas use.

I wish there was an "eco" version of natural gas service, the way you can buy green electricity. (No, not planning on making my own methane...)

Seems like the easiest alternative for much of natural gas use is the little wood stove in the winter. Maybe this summer, I will start using a clothes line too.
