In the USA there are at least 300,000 miles of gas pipelines for both onshore and offshore gas pipe lines.

Then for the distribution gas pipelines there are 2.1 million miles of gas pipelines.

So there are in total of at least 2.1 million miles plus the 300,000 miles of gas pipelines in the USA.

So nearly 3 million miles of gas pipelines are in the USA to get the natural gas from one location to another and it requires a lot of money to lay and maintain all those pipelines.

A lot of people never think about what it takes to get the natural gas to their home and gripe about the natural gas bill.

But in reality it's pretty cheap compared to the cost it takes to get the natural gas to the home or business.
