Do gas utility companies make a larger profit if the gas costs they pay to purchase gas on my behalf goes up?
No. Gas utilities do not make their profit selling natural gas. Gas costs are an expense item that is simply passed on to the customer on a dollar for dollar basis, provided the cost were incurred in a reasonable and prudent manner. The utilities profit margin is built into their distribution charge.
