I had Atmos before when I lived in Pflugerville and North Austin/WilCo, but since I moved to interior Austin, my gas has become much cheaper. I just did re-check and combined with delivery it is $0.35 / CCF delivered + taxes (out the door). Maybe it was less than during Summer, but my memory was stuck at $1/hour. As a CCF is ~4% more than a therm, my calculation was a bit off, but call it $0.33 / therm (or $1.20 / hour). My meter is maybe a touch undersized if other things are running, but I will say Texas Gas Service has been notably less expensive than Atmos.. Maybe it's $1.20 an hour, hard to tell. That said, CoA Water and CoA Power has been more money than options I had when I was outside the limits. However, I have Solar (9.3 kWh system (LG+SolarEdge)), and CoA's solar program is pretty advantageous to citizen solar providers, so it nets out to better than when I was on Atmos+Deregulated Power.
Interesting the dynamics of choosing which side of an imaginary line to live on! Thanks for talking through the prices with me and making sense of it!
