related free writing prospectus issued by us may contain, statements that are not historical fact and constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are necessarily
based upon assumptions with respect to the future, involve risks and uncertainties, and are not guarantees of performance. These

·
capital markets conditions, including the availability of credit and the liquidity of our investments;

·
the timing and success of business development efforts and construction, maintenance and capital projects, including risks

competitive financing for such projects;

·
inflation, interest and exchange rates;

·
the impact of benchmark interest rates, generally Moody's A-rated utility bond yields, on our cost of capital;

·
energy markets, including the timing and extent of changes and volatility in commodity prices;

·
the availability of electric power, natural gas and liquefied natural gas, including disruptions caused by failures in the

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the sale of the Series OO bonds will be used for the repayment of our 5.5% first mortgage bonds, Series
LL, due 2014, which mature on March 15, 2014. We estimate that the expenses for this offering, excluding underwriting discounts,
will be approximately $500,000.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
The following table sets forth the ratio of our earnings to fixed charges and the ratio of our earnings to combined fixed charges
and preferred dividends for each of the fiscal years in the five-year period ended December 31, 2013:

Year Ended December 31,

2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
7.23 5.72 6.51 7.24 6.56
Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends
7.05 5.58 6.35 7.05 6.39
We determine the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing (a) the sum of pretax income from continuing operations (less
capitalized interest) and fixed charges by (b) fixed charges consisting of all interest expense (before allowances for borrowed funds
used during construction), a portion of rent expenses which approximates the interest component of such expense, and amortization of
debt issuance costs.

SUPPLEMENTAL DESCRIPTION OF FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
The Series OO bonds offered by this prospectus supplement are a series of our first mortgage bonds as described below and in
the accompanying prospectus. The Series OO bonds will be issued under a supplemental indenture and the applicable indenture
referred to in the accompanying prospectus, each between us, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. We have
summarized below selected provisions of the supplemental indenture applicable to the Series OO bonds. The summary of the
provisions of our first mortgage bonds contained in the accompanying prospectus applies to the provisions of the Series OO bonds,
except that the summary of selected provisions of the Series OO bonds and the supplemental indenture set forth below supplements
and, to the extent inconsistent, supersedes and replaces the description of the general terms and provisions of our first mortgage bonds
and the indenture contained in the accompanying prospectus. This summary is not complete and is qualified by reference to provisions
of the Series OO bonds, the supplemental indenture and the indenture. Terms used in this section but not defined have the meanings
given to those terms in the accompanying prospectus or, if not defined in the accompanying prospectus, in the supplemental indenture
or the indenture. As used in this section, references to the "indenture" mean the mortgage bond indenture (as defined in the
accompanying prospectus) and as used in this section and under the caption "Description of First Mortgage Bonds" in the
accompanying prospectus, references to "we," "our" and "us," mean Southern California Gas Company excluding its subsidiaries,
unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.
General
The Series OO bonds will constitute a series of first mortgage bonds under the indenture, initially limited to $250 million
aggregate principal amount.
The Series OO bonds will mature on March 15, 2044. The Series OO bonds will bear interest at the rate of 4.45% per annum,
accruing from March 13, 2014. Interest on the Series OO bonds will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September
15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2014, to the persons in whose names the Series OO bonds are registered at the close of
business on the March 1 or September 1, as the case may be, next preceding those interest payment dates. Interest on the Series OO
bonds will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The Series OO bonds will be redeemable prior to maturity, at our option, at the prices set forth below under the caption
"Optional Redemption." The Series OO bonds will not be subject to a sinking fund.
The Series OO bonds will be issued in registered form without coupons and will be issuable in denominations of $1,000,
$5,000, $10,000, $25,000 and multiples of $25,000.
At December 31, 2013, we had outstanding $1,400 million of first mortgage bonds and the net book value of the property subject
to the first lien of the indenture was $5.0 billion. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and without giving effect to the
issuance of the Series OO bonds, the Net Earnings of the Corporation Available for Interest (as defined in the indenture) were 13
times the annual interest charges on our bonds outstanding under the indenture.
Optional Redemption
Prior to September 15, 2043, we may redeem all or any part of the Series OO bonds, at our option at any time or from time to
time, at a redemption price for any redemption date equal to the greater of the following amounts:

·
100% of the principal amount of the Series OO bonds being redeemed on the redemption date; or
