How can you tell the amount of gas you are using?

Ok i have took a reading of the number's on my pre-payment meter and it's moved less than 1 so i am guessing that's the incorrect number.

Recently i have noticed that i am using so much gas as it ran out last night i decided that i would put 2 pound on and monitor it's useage.

So the radiator's have been on overall 3 hour's max and the gas cooker was on for 10 minute's and i have used £1.04 is this correct i have a 2 bedroom house with 6 radiator's.

Does this sound like the right useage?

Many thank's.

It depends how much you are paying per cubic metre of gas. I would expect £2 to give you about 50 cubic metres of gas.

Thank's for the reply's so far.

According to Uswitch website this is what i should be getting charged-:

Gas7.350p per kWh3.210p per kWh above 2680 kWh p.aI can't make head nor tail's of it lol....

My number's last night were 4699.27 then when i checked they were 4700.07 does that help or make any sense to you's?

So you have used approx 9 kWh of gas.

So i am guessing per 0.10 is 1 kWh?

That is surely incorrect then as at max Gas 7.350p x 9 = 66.15p or am i getting this all wrong?

You used 0.8 cubic M of gas. Times that by 11.2 to get an approximate kWh figure of 9kWh. So 9kWh times either your primary rate or if you have used enough units, times your secondary rate.

Thank's again for explaining how to work it out understand that now.

Then i have used 1.04 divided buy 9 would be meaning i am paying 11.5p instead of the quoted 7.3p?

Does anyone know if this is correct sorry for trying to find out quickly just was going to give EDF a ring to find out what's going on and they close in 30 mins.

Also is they anyway i can check on my meter where it says what kWh i am being charged?

Many thank's.

Ok i noticed that my meter read's in cubic feet and not cubic metre's.

How do i work that out lol?
