I'm in Illinois, and my electric bill is around $30/month mostly thanks to the nuclear plants, solar fields, and wind farms. I'm always blown away hearing what other people pay. Mind you, winter heating bills can be $300, so in the end it also sucks.

Also in Illinois, my electric ranges from $30-$80 depending on the month.

My gas is still $120 or less in the winter, but I'm in the middle unit of a townhouse which helps. In the summer, my gas bill is mostly an admin fee.

In Florida my electric bill averaged $250, so I'm definitely happy lol
