Advice re: electric/gas charges

Hello

I've recently moved into a property that has a matrixmetering meters installed. Last week the warden charged us £2 for an electric card for 20 kwh (of electric) and this week it has risen to £3! I have found matrixmetering's website and they say that £2 is only a guide price and that pricing is between the landlord and tenants. It's quite a large increase and wondered how much others were paying, I've worked this new price to be 15p per kwh which seems a bit much to me.

Also, we have a coin operated gas meter which seems to consume about £1.50 when we've had the central heating on for 2 hours. This is probably about 5/6 heaters throughout the house which are medium sized. Is this reasonable? I can't remember there being any specific info on the meter re: price per kwh.

Advice is welcomed.
