There are many ways of cutting the cost of high gas bills in the winter. Some people have got their gas shut off because of non payment of their bill, if the degree is not below a certain temperature outside. A friend of mine uses different space heaters, turns his electric oven on for awhile, and other different ways of saving on gas. He even turns the heat way down whenever he is going to be laying down or resting, and uses a heated blanket. He also uses it sometimes when he is just sitting or laying around his house while watching television and doing other things.
