This applies to the "Gas Supply Charge" portion of the bill. The current price per therm is $.9799 and the contract price is $.9999. The relevant time period for the contract is Nov. 1 through Ap. 30. Two questions: (1) Historically, does anyone know what the maximum fluctuation has been during a winter season in the Northeast? (I am in Massachusetts.) Please point me to data if this is kept. (2) A very mild winter would likely drive the price down, but I have heard widely varying reports regarding expected temps in the NE. Anybody have thoughts on this? Of course there are other things that could drive the price up. When oil prices rise, gas seems to keep step for reasons whose validity I have doubted in the past. I have until Nov. 9 to make my decision. Should I do this? Your thoughts are very much appreciated. Thanks. Frank
