£6 a DAY for gas ???

Hi!
We are currently using EDF for gas on a pre-payment meter. We have been paying £6 A DAY for gas for the past few months!
It is a semi-detached 3 bedroom house and as we all work long hours the heating is on maybe 4 hours a day, and we dont spent too much time cooking or using the hot water.
We never used to have to pay that much and it all seemed to change when we had someone from National Grid come round a few months ago to let air out of the gas meter as we didn't have enough gas to use hot water and the cooker at the same time. (There was also a boiler problem we had around the same time).

I rang EDF several times and gave them meter readings, they say everything is ok and that they are NOT collecting the debt form the previous tenants (the account has been changed over).
After several more phone calls they agreed to change the gas meter - however this still hasn't resolved the problem!
Also they claim that for a certain time period we put on a certain amount of money...and I know for a fact we put more money on the pre-paid card than they say we did.
I'm not sure what to do next - I appreciate the cost for gas has gone up but £6 a day seems to be way too high for the amount of time we use heating/cooker/hot water!!
Any suggestions why it is so high? It is obviously not the gas meter...could it be a fault with the boiler? Or is the problem with EDF?

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

I just did my weekly check on gas usage and this week it is £39:eek: I know we have had it on about an extra two hours per day over the past week (on for approximately 9 hours per day), but this is scary. When will the price start falling?
