This is a last ditch attempt to lure everyone to Natural Gas,
because, very soon, Gas prices will surpass Oil due to the 3.5% increase
recently approved for Union Gas.
There will also be included on your monthly Gas bill a service charge of
$7.50 and $15.00 to offset the cost of the new pipeline in your area (Five year total $900.00).
In the future
OIL WILL BE THE MOST ECONOMICAL FUEL
