$750 gas bill… Jesus Christ man…
No bueno! First things first, check your meter and see if the number is higher or lower than the bill; occasionally it will be an estimate in which case you should be able to provide your own actual reading to your provider, or it will right itself by the next bill.
Next, if the read is accurate, check for leaks. Generally you will need a plumber to check for you, but better to be safe. (Edit: adding, if there is a leak you will most likely still be liable for the bill).
Otherwise, it may just be the gas price increases have come into effect, and you’re seeing that on your bill now.

Reading is accurate. Haven’t checked for leaks, but my graphs don’t suddenly spike and are comparable to last year. I think shit’s just expensive…boo
Do you have ducted heating or something or do you get bills very infrequently?
If you can see the metre is it going up by a lot and ticking?
750 sounds awful.
😱 😨 that’s rude. That’s very rude. Times like this I’m grateful that my place has zero gas heating. But even the freaking daily supply charge alone for a gas stovetop is $1/day.
New guitar day!!!

I’m wasted on this audience (my parents). The TV just had some ad where a woman had all of her toes amputated due to diabetes, showed her nub foot. She said “you never think it’ll happen to you, but until you put your foot into someone else’s shoes…” and I said “Ha! Was that a pun?? That was toe-tally a pun…” and dad was like “yeah”.
I crave appreciation for my comedy and I’m not getting it from these supposed “loved ones”.
