It's a bit of an ethics question. Do you want to pay what
you probably owe or not? The responsibility for the meter
is the gas company to make sure that it metering correctly
and it tends to be your responsibility to make sure that it
is not measuring more than what is correct.

That aside, ethically you should tell the company it isn't
working and then go from there, probably pay the low
estimate of what you used. Or you can just say, its the
companies problem and refuse to pay. Course they might just
disconnect you.

One of my apartments has a similar situation. The gas company hasn't
scheduled a repair yet. Its been busted for over two years now.

The local gas shop (note: used to work for the local utility) is
unionized and is being "reduced" by the company. They are not exactly
being proactive in fixing stuff like broken meters.
