It isn't the price that I care about, but the usage. I know there's going to be a huge range, but it should give me an idea at least. My hypothesis is that our apartment is very poorly insulated, and that we are paying too much. (It's also unreliable and stops working every other day and we have to call the landlord to turn it on again.)
Do you do things like close curtains/blinds/shutters when dusk falls? That helps keep a lot of heat in, and (apparently, which astounds me) a lot of people don't know this.
Otherwise: I have no idea. Our energy usage has been hard to follow because the provider took forever to set up our account. Very annoying.

Is this the kind of thing where prices differ across states?

That tends to vary as well, I believe; supply and demand and all that.

I miss a logfire so very much. It's the most comfortable heat. <3 *NM*

That seems really carbon-intensive, actually.

not very high, but I don't use much heating until I NEED it.

Ugh, I try not to think about it. Electric storage heaters are a very expensive way to heat a house.
