Okay, call me paranoid but I don't want gas in my home down here and I LOVE a gas stove. The lines go through the attic. Lightning hits the highest point of a house; ergo, to my mind gas, attic lines = bigger chance of lightning bolt destroying my home.
Also, we just don't get as cold as up north or even out west. Last winter we had a whopping 2 weeks where it got below freezing (frost on the ground even!). I still barely had to run my heat. I found that 60-65 kept the chill out quite nicely; 55 at night was comfortable.
Plus, I don't think gas is even an option in the new homes.
