<prompt> Human: So the past three months our gas bill has skyrocketed 230 for this past month. Obviously its winter and I understand that the Gas bill is going to go up, but this seems too high. We live in a two bedroom condo 1100 sqft in Northern Virginia. In November 1st full month we moved in we paid 55, December 110, January 194, February 230. I checked with multiple neighbors and none of them are paying more than 150.We tried calling the gas company were NOT going through a 3rd party and they basically say the numbers dont lie tough luck.Does anyone have any recommendations for keeping the bill down, or have any ideas that something might be wrong? We keep the temperature steady at 71 degrees and dont cook or shower any more than your average couple. Is this high or am I just young and naive to how badly the real world screws you?  <response>: Your 71 degree temp is most likely the reason for the high bill.Try turning it to 69 or 70 for the upcoming month. Turn it down to 67 or 68 when you go to bed. Turn it off when you go to work. Bam, bill cut in half.
