I'm in Evanston, Illinois (a few miles from Chicago) and for electricity
from Commonwealth Edison I used 448kWh and just paid $0.0877 per kWh for
the first 400kWh, then $0.06574 for then next 48kWh (before tax).
For gas from Nicor, I used 164.75 therms and they were billed at $0.6839
per therm plus a (too complicated for me to type now) delivery cost,
which if I include it in the total the cost per therm was $0.7862 per
therm (before tax).
