Jimmy replaced his old gas water heater with a new, pilotless, gas water heater. But the gas bills increased after he did so.
Each of the following, if true, contributes to an explanation of the increase mentioned above EXCEPT:
A. The new water heater uses a smaller percentage of the gas used by Jimmy's household than did the old one.
B. Shortly after the new water heater was installed, Jimmy's uncle came along to shift with him, thereby increasing the usage of the heater.
C. After having done his laundry at a laundromat, Jimmy bought and started using a gas dryer when he replaced his water heater.
D. Jimmy's utility company raised the rates for gas consumption following installation of the new water heater.
E. The weather got extremely cold and hence the new water heater resulted in heavy gas usage.
