Good evening,

Has the price of L.P. home heating fuel per cubic meter suddenly increased by two hundred percent or so? I have a bill that states that I used the same amount of gas as the previous month, but the latter bill is way more than 100k more expensive.

Thanks.

Resets every month at my place...

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I appreciate it very much.

Does Re-Set entail or mean that the gas meter/gauge reverts to the 4-digit-number 0000?

Also, my meter shows that I've used a mere 103 units of L.P. Gas since January 25 of this year, yet I'm supposedly in debt to the gas company for 300 thousand won - even though I used less gas in each of the months of February and March than in December and January - months in which I paid 69,230 won for each one or something.

This stuff stresses me out, and makes me feel even more strongly that Pu Yeo is a crappy gun in which to work.

I understand LPG is 3,800 won a unit and it's easy to use 1 unit a day if not 3. Expect about 120,000 to 300,000 a month LPG bill if you have a situation where it's trucked in cylinder tanks. You might check that your payments are being applied to your account.

Thanks a bunch for replying to my post.

By the way, do you use a public or private gas company's service? Sorry for being a Pry.

Respectfully,

DI

Ugh I shuddered to read 'LPG'... I spent a year in a korean village and they used this stuff...had I known I would have declined the job. First cold month (and it was colder there than Seoul)... gas bill half a million. And I didn't use it very much...in a one room. It barely got lower. Hideous.

In Seoul I had been paying peanuts.

@ Valkerie:


I hear you loud-n-clear: Seoul City gas bills were always way cheaper per cubic meter of gas.

Take care!
