It does, but then it also makes sense. The gas itself is priced at market. Getting it to your home and managing that is the rest of it, and those are fixed costs.
I guess you could argue for a system where those fixed costs are rolled in, and you couldn't see your usage cost, such that dropping your usage 25% only drops your bill 4% but you don't have visibility to that, and you get upset because the math makes no sense. Which is what we used to have, before people complained about that. So now we have this. Should we go back? I'm interested in hearing people complain
differently, so I'm for it.
