can someone please explain to me what this is? For some reason, we are getting hit with $42 for a 'gas delivery charge', yet only used $7.70 worth of gas. How can we be charged 6x more in "delivery fees" than the amount of gas we even used?

Explaining gas delivery item - Baltimore Sun

Essentially the delivery charge is the cost of equipment and infrastructure. Look on your electric bill and there will be something similar.

You are connected to the system - you expect gas to be there when you want it. For that, a utility charges you a fee to have the infrastructure and reliable service. Further, by having a larger customer flat fee, the utility can recoup its investment in the pipes and system even if they encourage efficiency.
