III IILJI December 2007; Source - American Gas Association (monthly charges assuming 250 Therms used) ' here is a nation full of folks wishing they could trade natural gas bills with you. The above chart says it all. We know, we know. Facing a proposed rate increase probably doesn't make you feel warm all over (like natural gas does). But at least it will help you understand that natural gas prices are a national issue, and we're hustling like crazy to minimize the impact. Here's how: About half of your natural gas comes from Questar-owned Questar-owned sources. This gas is sold to you at a much lower rate than gas purchased on the open market. tWhen additional supplies are needed to meet high demand, we buy open-market gas and the cost is passed on to you without mark-up. And without profit. t Rising gas costs are responsible for most of the increase that's coming. The simple fact is, we don't set the prices of gas we buy for you. Before rates ever change, we provide the Public Service Commission information on gas prices. Their experts then review that information before rates are changed. But even with this increase, gas rates will be about the same as in 3005. In reality, high gas prices convey a plain message: Our country needs to produce more natural gas and use it efficiently. We're doing our best to help you control your bill through our ThermWise program.

But we hope this information takes a bit of the chill off your feelings about your gas bill. Cttmsmn Gas C TAKE COMFORT. J ,.....,. www. questargas.com |
