I was at a party last night and a neighbor who works for a commercial
HVAC company explained his method of ripping off the gas company.
. . .
Since he is sending in his card every month, and he is staying within
"average use" for a homeowner, they only come to read his meter once a
year and it's always near the end of winter when his over-reads and
under-reads have just about cancelled out.

This approximates the "averaging" monthly payment
programmes some utility companies offer clients.
