Gas Company Fees Ridculous

So, it is mid June.
I just looked at my May natural gas bill.

I used $12.79 worth of natural gas.

My bill?

$47.18

Huh?

Yep.

Gas $12.79
“Base Charge” $26.85
Customer Service charge $5.95
Tax $3.09

Customer service charge?
Ha.
Utilities are raking us over the coals and it stinks.
