Too many cars on the road cry out for replacement in terms of mileage driven and high gas consumption.
This is the equivalent of more than a decade of Japan's gas consumption.
The company said average UK household gas consumption was up 21% over the year, while electricity consumption was up 5%.
If electricity demand grows by 1.5% a year on top of that, gas consumption would increase another 2.5TCF a year.
FORBES: Frack Gas Not Likely To Displace King Coal, Study Suggests
For example, M2M-enabled smart utility meters are currently collecting information on electric, water, or gas consumption and sending it to utility companies.

The government announced the plan to install smart meters to monitor electricity and gas consumption in 26 million homes earlier this year.
While oil and natural gas consumption has remained steady, production has declined.
From those numbers calculated above we can see that this would have quite a large effect on the gas consumption of the fleet.
Scottish gas consumption per meter was the highest in Britain, but both Scottish and British consumption fell by 19% between 2005 and 2009.
Even though it lets them make cars that guzzle more gas, they say they support it for the sake of reducing Americans' gas consumption.
Nationwide that switching amounted to an uptick of some 8 billion cubic feet a day of gas consumption, offsetting millions of tons of coal.
The U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) estimates that natural gas consumption for power generation will be 83% higher in 2030 compared to 2009.
FORBES: Buffett Won't Dig Deeper Into Coal, Should Be Like Boone And Go For Gas
Israeli natural gas consumption currently equals roughly 200 billion cubic feet per year, measured against the aforementioned 26 trillion cubic feet of proven resource.

With 3.2 million rigs driving the interstates and consuming 25 billion gallons of diesel annually, these developments could have strong implications for natural gas consumption.
The savings in medical costs would offset the higher gas consumption.
Natural gas consumption will rise more rapidly than the 1.6% annual gain in energy demand for the next 25 years, according to the Energy Information Administration.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that natural gas consumption for power generation will increase by 20% by 2050 and consumption of coal will decline.
FORBES: Buffett Won't Dig Deeper Into Coal, Should Be Like Boone And Go For Gas
Substitute enough new plants for old, and U.S. gas consumption, currently 62 billion cubic feet a day, could drop by as much as 1 billion cubic feet a day.
Some station owners say that the stiffer competition, combined with declining gas consumption, is making it harder for them to upgrade and pay the rent or mortgage on their properties.
Cold weather meant average UK household gas consumption rose.
Gas consumption is famously inelastic with respect to price.
Cheap natural gas can also drag down the price of oil--albeit with a lag, since it takes a while to bring gas wells online or to convert some petroleum consumption to gas consumption.
Anadarko discovered a massive gas field off the coast of Mozambique in 2006 that extends across 100 miles and may contain 70 trillion cubic feet of gas (US yearly gas consumption: 30 tcf).
Which leads to my amusement, puzzlement perhaps, about those parts of the American left who do argue that gas consumption must be cut but fail to urge those policies which have been proven to work elsewhere.
The Soviet shares of total oil and gas consumption respectively should be limited to about 30%, mirroring the intent of the International Energy Agency Agreement of May 1983 pertaining to West European dependency on Soviet gas supplies.

The problem is that just as price changes have to be severe to manifest any impacts on gas consumption, price changes on their own also tend not to do much to inspire the development of radical new tech solutions, unless prices are through the roof.
FORBES: Raising Gas Taxes Wouldn't Cut Consumption, But It Still Makes Sense
Japan imports nearly all of its oil and natural gas consumption, and the earthquake, having wreaked havoc on select nuclear power facilities, will likely result in a sustained change in the composition of Japanese energy demand, including an increased demand for oil and some refined products.
In the case of the Siberian gas pipeline project, Moscow was well aware of the inordinate West European dependency on Soviet natural gas supplies -- ultimately projected to exceed 60% of total European gas consumption -- which would have resulted from the successful completion of both strands of the twin 3, 600-mile pipelines connected to the West European gas grid.

People with this disease often have mild abdominal discomforts such as bloating and gas after consumption of breads and cereals that contain gluten.
