im not even kidding, my electric company put more surcharges on the bill, the local papers tore them apart



on a $100 electric bill there is 52% surcharge, PLUS TAXES!



so your $100 of use comes to over $160 on your bill



they put a cap on the electric bill, but the way they are getting around it is this ******* surcharge, and they are the ONLY electric company on Long Island

new york seriously has some crazy power issues. you guys get blackouts for weeks and ****.



but yea, they started doing that in NJ, charging you the extra money for fuel. even tho the electric isnt delivered to your house by a truck lol. i think its to cover the costs of the stupid guys in pickup trucks checking the meters. well that and they do it because well, in all honesty, they can.

You know that you'll spend the same money after you have to replace a bazillion o2 sensors.
