I don't understand what the price of gasoline has to do with your electric bill going up so much. I can see some, but THAT much? Most electricity in this country is either generated from coal, or nuclear energy. And coal is transported to powerplants by train, a far more efficient method than delivery by truck. As I understand it, pretty much all trains are driven electrically, by an on board diesel generator powering electric motors. (Hybrids, basically.) So, I would think petroleum costs wouldn't affect electricity generation nearly as much as other industries.
I know, I'm off topic, but this is just a thought that struck me while I was reading your post.
