Markman Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I now have gas and first time ever (good timing as the prices go up and up) anyway I spoke to British Gas and asked how can I roughly work out my gas expenditure. The answer was some sort of mathematical masterpiece! I wondered if anyone knew a simpler way. What I was told was:- 1 Read meter and deduct current reading from the last one - nice and easy so lets say the difference is 50 2 Multiply this by some random figure they gave me which was 1.02264 3 Multiply this by the calorific figure (in my case) 39.1 pence then divide all this by 3.6 so I think this comes to £5.53 - so I guess it means I have used 5.53 plus whatever the daily standing charge is - I don't know seems very complicated I thought I could just take the difference (50) and times that by the KW rate of 7.42 = £3.71 or close to it Confused Markman!

robin_unreliant Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 It IS all very complicated. Deliberately; so it is hard to get a simple comparison to other providers to put you off moving! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 if you have a smart meter, you can normally sync it with your energy supplier's app, and it will show you usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
