I'm curious what people are paying for natural gas in the summer and overall.....

The Steam Whisperer

For the total bill, we are at $5.05 per therm (includes all of the gas company fees). Gas cost is $0.30 per therm. 0.3 therms per day cooking, hot water and dryer for a 4 person household in a single family home in Chicago. I haven't run this past 12 months totals, but its typically about 70% of our bill goes to People Gas Fees, 20% for the gas, and 10 % for taxes over the year.
