For Natural Gas when a fixed rate is say $5.99 would you still have all the other tertiary charges on your bill or would you shed some of those?

Last month to buy 3.07 GJ at an average cost of $2.55 per GJ it cost me $78.97.

Fixed and Variable Delivery Charges of about $33.50. $5 in rate riders, an admin fee of $11.19, plus a municipal franchise fee of $7.56. Carbon tax of $10.21 and GST. So that's about $60 if you exclude the carbon tax. My uneducated assumption is that I'm paying those costs regardless if I'm on fixed or variable.

Year to date I have my house as having used 57.67GJ at an average cost of $3.94 per GJ. Although that will rise come December when my usage will go up to 15 and I expect the rate to rise too. Last year to use around 81GJ it averaged $5.27 per GJ. So what am I missing by not locking in gas prices? Seems like most people have.
