Shocking gas bill!
Just got my "revised" energy bills in - got the normal "estimated" bill at the beginning of the month, so as normal went online and put in the actual meter readings, and I've gone from being £65 in credit to £164 debit! Part of which is the gas bill at £295!!!!! 
WTF?
Meter reading in October was 3194, latest reading in second week of Feb was 3334 - how in the fuck have I used £300 worth of gas in 3 months, when all the gas is used for is heating water (for central heating, washing machine and running hot water) ?!?!?!?!?
Wondering if I've got a gas leak FFS!!!!!
Last time I gave em a meter reading (Oct) it put me in credit!
Pissed!

The only other thing gas is used for is the shower and hot (tap) water! Oh and the washing machine, but seeing as I live on my own, that doesn't get used all the time...
I just don't get why it's that high as £300 (£100 a month!) when it wasnt that high last year! Surely gas prices can't have gone up that much!

Our gas bill standing order went up from 51 pounds a month to 91 a month.. so that shows you how much they have hiked the gas prices up by. I think thats about an 80% increase.

Newer washing machines only use cold water intake, and heat the water themselves to the required temperature. Saying that, the newest ones have settings for washing in cold water with the right liquids, so they cost even less to run.
For what it's worth, my quarterly bill last week was about £150 elec and about £180 for gas. I thought they were a lot, but looking on here it seems I got off lightly.

Wrong 
pre-pay meters are for people who cant manage thier finances and for landlords convienience.
They also cost more per unit as well as the daily charge. so yes you get no bill, but you are paying more
Theres only one supplier who charges same rates for prepay and credit meters.

Mine has gone up alot as well. Monthly payment uysed to be £25, gone up to £42 now and that was before I gave them a proper meter reading day before last, expecting the £42 to go up again.
Heating has been on alot though I must say, it's been bloody cold !
