How much gas did you use?

Columbia Gas of Virginia reads your meter at approximately the same time every month. The reading date appears as the last item of your bill under the "Gas Usage" heading on your bill.

Many customers like to keep a close check on their gas usage. They read their gas meters more often and keep their own personal records. This helps them track their conservation efforts.

To determine how much gas you have used, you need to compare the reading you have just taken with a past reading or one taken several days or several weeks later (preferably around the same time of the day). Subtract the smaller reading from the larger. The difference is the amount of gas used during the time between the two readings.

Your bill also indicates your most recent usage. Look at the section labeled "Gas Used," in the Meter Information portion of your bill. Here you'll see how much gas you used during the billing period for which you're being charged. The gas used is shown in Ccf or Mcf. One Ccf equals 100 cubic feet of gas. One Mcf equals 1,000 cubic feet of gas.
