Gas Bills May Rise About Twenty Five Dollars A Year

Industry sources say regional variances will occur, while a consumer group forecasts larger increases. The changes stem from the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, with December prices set for existing and new wells and a phased inflation adjustment expected thereafter.
