    Well, over here, Calor Gas charge an extortionate whopping £87.50 for a 47Kg bottle. We do have some competition though, yep, FloGas is £1,80 dearer at £89.30!!

    I paid £55 yesterday for one in Lancashire. As much as the price sounds outrageous when you are forking it out I think what people fail to remember is that you probably use a lot less in summer than you do in winter and when you work this out over a year, its not quite as bad as it sounds. I bought one bottle yesterday for my home which is the first since march 2011. I normally buy 2 a month in winter. i keep reminding myself to put money away for the winter months but never get round to it and them panic when winter arrives and feel really peaved at the prices but forget that i generally only pay for one for the whole summer.

    Two years ago I was paying approx £46 for a 47Kg cylinder (heating Vat rate), my boiler (over 20 years old) was getting to the end of it's life. I had to think seriously about the cost of replacement (80 year old pensioner at that time). After careful research I decided to go all electric. Oil filled radiators, convector heaters, fan heaters, instant water heater, electric cooker and electric shower. Cost to convert, just under £1,000. My fuel bills for the subsequent two years were cut by 1/3 from almost £1,500 to £1,000 per annum. With the price increases shown on here I must be saving even more than that. The scrap value of the central heating was £72.
