Figure 1 - The overall downward trend of -1.64 % is a good thing . This trend line is created by calculating the difference from year to year and then averaging those changes over a period of 12 years ( 2010 – 2021 ). Due to an increase in gas use for heating and cremations ( due to COVID ) in 2021 , the trend line is less favorable at the close of 2021 than it was in 2020 . It changed from -2.5 % to -1.64 %.
