Gas useage

I got my 1st gas bill today, for actual usage. The 1st bill was for 1 day and was slammed with a 5.76 minimum fee. bastards!

Anyway my first full month bill came and it says I used 2 Therms but it says estimated. I hardly ever use the stove since I eat out a lot and order delivery/take out.

Is 2 therms a lot? The bill isn't a lot but am just curious.

I have roomates 3br I used 19 therms last month . . I don't use the stove too much but the other roomates make tea in the morning and dinner sometimes.

I think the three pilot lights in my stove use about 2 therms.

My pilot lights are electric, I did cook 3 or 4 times.

Electric stoves don't have pilot lights but they tend to use a lot of electricity. That's why most people prefer gas.

Maybe it's a gas stove with an electric starter? In that case it shouldn't use gas when the stove isn't in use.

thats why is said estimated. Next time read your own meters and input the numbers on your utility's website.
