I dont get a raise every time my cost of living goes up. Why should the gas company profit every time gas costs go up?
We expect gas companies to provide service whenever we need it even on the coldest night of the year. Gas companies have to provide this reliable service every hour of the year. This means that gas companies must often purchase higher-priced gas supplies in order to guarantee uninterrupted supply to you. The gas companies do not get a profit increase when they buy this higher priced-gas. The price reflects a direct pass-through for the actual cost of gas.
