I just read that according to the US Dept of Energy, we all should have enjoyed some nice windfall savings on our heating costs this past winter.

Depending on what kind of heating fuel we use, the Feds say we probably saw our bill drop by 5% (for electricity), almost 9% (for propane), and 13% for natural gas.

We're a natural gas household here, but we're on a monthly payment plan, which means we pay the same amount each month, and then twice a year they re-evaluate our usage and adjust accordingly. Thus I didn't note any savings - yet.

But then again, we've had to deal with those pesky auto gas prices. Yikes, the prices jumped again the other day by a full five cents!! "Regular" is over $4 a gallon now - as we head into the summer.

At least I lucked out there a bit. Last bought gas when it was $3.99/gallon. The day BEFORE the current jump. Hosannah!
