Gas Bill - Question


Markman

Recommended Posts

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!
