What is your monthly average for utility bills and gasoline?

Well, monthly bills are relative. I live in a 2200 sq ft house with full basement and attic and spend roughly 250 a month in electric. But you head down the road to someone in a similar house and they can pay as much as 1000 because of the area they live has a higher cost of living. I have septic so I don't worry about a sewage bill. Gas is roughly 200 a month for me and my wife. I have a canoe that I use for the lake so I don't use energy there besides what I can paddle and I walk to the post office to cut my emissions. My next vehicle is going to be a prius so my gas bill will go way down soon, and that 3000 dollar tax credit will go to my retirement fund : ). I usually try to pick up litter when I see it as well and am teaching my son to do the same.
I try to be environmentally sound when ever possible, not always successful though. It might be true I don't think global warming is true, but I still think the environment is worth protecting and preserving.

Last month my light bill was 3,223.26. Most of the cost was due to the large chemical spill I had in my backyard I had to have cleaned up. Those guys in the funny suits use a lot of juice during these cleanups. I really leave my computer on a lot and I feel that I am perhaps not doing my environment a favor by turning this thing on and leaving it running. My SUV gas bill was rather high this month do to a few long rides to the Rockies. I would say I spent about 600 dollars on gasoline this month. About 100 bucks on cigarettes and about 70 dollars on logs for my gasoline bon fire I had outside Friday night. My water bill was high this month as well cause I filled my indoor pool with a garden hose. Its been a busy month including my daughters camaro gas bill I help her with. 400 dollars. Its really crazy.

Green, green, green. This month the water bill was cheap - about 700 peso because the water just dribbled.... and we save on the electric because we cook on trash and garbage fires (the not green people just burn it in the field or throw it in the river). One nice thing is that it doesn't get cold enough to need a heater, and living on top of a mountain, it's windy and cool enough not to need an air conditioner. Gasoline? a real killer - 36 peso per liter a tankful will run you over 1000 pesos.
Now. How are you doing with your greenness? Here it's the color of mold. Are you going to ask me a silly question like "how many pesos to a dollar?"

Gas for me is about $30 a week, my wife about 30 a month {she only drives her car to work, rides with me any other time}. Our Power bill {includes water and sewer, and natural gas is seldom over 200 a month, most of the time it is about 130. Global warming is a load of political crap, 30 years ago it was all about "we are causing the next ice age!" Al Gore is a fraud. And just for the record we have more trees in the United States now than in 1776 {check the National Forestry Service you will see that I am right}. To top it all of, and this one makes me laugh the most, it requires more energy to "recycle" an aluminum can than it does to manufacture a new one. STOP RECYCLING YOU ARE KILLING THE ENVIRONMENT!

Me and Centurion are twins, except mine is a hog of a pickup. I fill up at least 3 times a week, a 25 gal. tank. I don't conserve and if I did I would stop because of the wackos on the environment. When they stop their lying, I might consider conserving , just a little though

Utility: $32/mo. I live in Arizona, so that helps. No need for heat too often.
Gas: $55/mo.
Not sure how much water we use. Probably a lot.

I drive a huge SUV that runs great on Iraqi oil! It gets 6 miles to the gallon. I leave the lights on all the time. I don't recycle. Global warming is a load of crap!
