Natural gas shopping tools
From today's column on natural gas shopping:
But natural gas prices have fallen, too, and the 1 million Maryland households that heat and cook with gas are also getting a break.No matter what happens, families using natural gas will probably save hundreds of dollars next winter compared with this year's bills.
BGE Home and Washington Gas Energy Services, the two main alternatives to Baltimore Gas & Electric Co.'s standard gas product, are offering their best fixed-price gas deals in a while. (BGE Home is owned by BGE parent Constellation Energy, but it's a different company from BGE.)
WGES's gas-shopping Web site is here.
Historical, month-by-month prices for BGE's standard natural gas service are here.

Anyone have an answer for 2 questions I can't seem to find out about?
(1) Why am I being charged $13 for being a natural gas customer, but only $7.50 for electric?
(2) If my gas meter is only read once, during the middle of the month, but the price changes on the 1st, how is that specific usage difference calculated for my monthly bill?
Thanks, Tim
