2 tier tariff or standing charge
I made a spreadsheet to compare 2 tier tariffs and standing charge tariffs and I can't find much difference in the costs of my gas and electricity so have I made a mistake in my spreadsheet somewhere or are the tariffs just a way to confuse us and get even more money out of us.
