Effective yesterday, March 1, 2006, FCG customers will see about a 6 percent reduction in their natural gas costs. The average customer bill using 25 therms per month using rates in effect in February 2006 would have been $56.29 in March. Using the rates announced today, the average March bill is projected to be $52.54. In February, customers saw about a 7 percent reduction in their costs, which translated into about a little more than $4 savings.

"Prices for all kinds of heating -- natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and propane -- have all risen since last year," said Charles Rawson, vice president and general manager of Florida City Gas. "But thanks to a warm winter and higher inventory levels, the price of natural gas is continuing to decline.

FCG makes no profit on the natural gas it purchases on behalf of customers. The commodity cost is passed along to customers without markup.

"Despite these recent price drops, the commodity cost of natural gas prices is higher now than it has been historically because demand for the most efficient and cleanest-burning fossil fuel has increased while production has not," said Rawson. "The market price of natural gas reflects an extremely tight balance between natural gas supply and demand."
