Hola, I have been reading about all of the horror stories re: electricty and gas increases on the news. Any first hand experieinces? What is the average gas/ electricity bill you are paying in an apto. w/ calefon estufas etc...?
Were currently paying $40 usd for electricity and $20 Usd for gas.... for a 40 sq m apto.
The dollar amounts you are paying for gas and electricity are
dollars? That doesn't sound right.
The gas rate here is expected to more than double next month. I have been paying less than $30 pesos every two months for a 2 bedroom apt. I do not have gas heat.
My electric bill also recently doubled... to a rate of about $35 dollars a month (using a/c as much as desired and usually falling asleep with the plasma TV on).
I have friends in the US who are paying several times that.
I have yet to find a US city with cost of living comparable to BA...or as desirable to live in at anywhere near what it costs to live here.
