It sounds like your usage is extremely high.

I pay much less than that for water/stove/dryer & a space heater which
uses more than all three 4-5 months of the year. The last few years
I've paid about $1000 - while the price has gone up to about $2.50
/gal.
[it's $2.70 now- but this 'year' isn't done yet]

So - first convert your $ to gallons. Then call a repairman to
check for leaks and malfunctions with your heater. Tell him how many
gallons you're using a month and I'll bet he runs out to your house.

You either have a serious leak or are due for a new heater. If I
were you, I'd be happy to spend $1000 now- the payback will be less
than a year.
