What this price means for your bill

At $9.65 per Mcf, a 10 Mcf month (about 104 therms) costs about $96. That works out to about $0.93 per therm. Burned in a gas furnace or boiler running at 92% efficiency, that is $10.12 per million BTU of heat delivered into the house, which is the number to use when comparing against anything else.

At 27% below its five-year average, natural gas is cheap by recent standards. This is the kind of week when filling the tank, or asking your dealer about a fixed-price contract, has historically paid off. Compared with the previous winter it is 25% lower. We don't forecast prices. What we can tell you is where this week sits against history, and how the fuel compares with the alternatives at today's numbers.
