Hi it’s my first time living alone in an apartment and my gas bill is pretty high it’s 5k yen for 34days of usage. My friends pay around 2-3k per month. I know that it’s impossible for me to pay 2k since the 基本料金 is 2.1k.
Would like to hear any tips on how to lower my gas bill?
Btw I don’t cook that much. Thank you.

Your gas is probably Propane gas, and your friend’s one is City gas.
Propane is around 400~500 per m3, while city gas is usually 100 per m3.
If your apartment has a metal box or external gas tanks, then it’s propane and it’s expensive unfortunately.
I only use my gas to bath and my stove is IH, and I still pay around 5k~6k every month.
While my uncle pays around 4k in a house with 3 people and cook using gas.
I live in a 1R and I noticed I pay around 3-4000 during the warm months, but it seems to go up to 7000 in the colder months. My married co-worker pays around the same as I for 2 people with city gas. I use LP gas, which is more expensive than city gas. I don’t think I can lower my cost much because I take 5 minute showers and I cook pretty regularly. There isn’t much that I can cut out on my end unless I turn off the water when I shower to only rinse.
