I was down in the basement throwing some stuff out and it dawned on me that, duh, the pilot light on the furnace was on (obviously since I never shut the gas off in the 10 years we've been here). The furnace hasn't gone on in a month and probably won't for another three months.

Does it use an appreciable amount of gas? Is it worthwhile to shut the gas off to the furnace for the warm months? I never thought about it before.
