But then, we all know it costs more to get anything out here to this salty piece of land.

How come, then, when I was in northern NH last month I bought gasoline for $2.05 when it was selling at Christies in Yarmouth for 2.85 ?

I ain't 100 % on it, just thought it might be worth a look...
I have my doubts on the pricing, think it's old info on the website, will try and call them tomorrow.. if I read it right, it's 1.5 cent per KW higher, so the 8.3, or 8.9 cent price, would be based on the old rate..... but you get the tax write off


onshore, buy your gas in Harwich or Chatham, always 20-30 cents cheaper than Orleans or Eastham, that is still a mystery to me.

Saw this today and thought of this thread. Not sure if this has an effect on any here?

Scott, that cut is for the "delivery charge" portion on the bill, not the KW hour rate...

Quote from the article: But the proposal would cut electric rates by about 46 cents per month for average customers -- and natural-gas rates by nearly $9 a month for customers.

The gas gets a little better cut on their "delivery charge", every cut helps, I guess.
The thing that irks me, is here on the Cape, we pay a premium for electricity, and we have the highest incidents of outages... if they are gonna charge me more, they better improve on that big time.. or I'm gonna become their new a-hole on the phone... every time it goes off, I'm going to call and ask for a "Power Interuption Credit"... if they can create all these bogus extra charges, why can't the consumer come up with some "creative credits" ?

Guess who are the highest paid power plant people in the country. The Cape Cod Cannel station. Most guys working there are over the 70,000 per year mark with all the overtime. ThomT
