Not really. In a really cold month, I once got a $550 gas bill for a 3 bed house in Pittsburgh.

About 14 years ago I lived in a really old, poorly insulated 2 bedroom duplex. Single pane windows, basement, etc. The last winter I lived there I had a gas bill that was more than my rent (over $600).

Oof really? Was it unusually big? Biggest I ever got was 320 or so

Yeah, it was an extremely poorly insulated house though. Original 1901 windows. After that we bullied the landlord into replacing the windows and it dropped to about $200 in regular cold winter months and $300 in frigid months.

Important to note this was 9 years ago- between regular inflation, extra inflation, and gas prices, I'm sure the same house's bill could be even higher today
