Lpg gas

rayeljohn

Hi I live in a village in that is run onn LPG Gas from a local Flogas supplier, all the village is on this and most houses have large gas tanks to house there gas. We live on a privately owned Park home site and have to purchase 47Kg tanks. When I moved in two years ago it was £57.00 for two tanks since then the cost has risen tremendously to £85.85 including 5% vat the biggest jump was in the last 4 weeks when we ordered two at £77.85 and now two weeks later £85.85 when I rang the company they said that there is no watchdog for this type of gas and that suppliers can charge what they like. I also understand that this product is the waste from petrol so why are we charged so much? Out Homes are for 55 plus so therfore most of the residents are pensioners only on pensions so why has this price hike not been addressed? if it has then who by would be grateful for any info thank you.

Hello,

There is a specific LPG sub forum here, so you may find more info there.

I also have the 47kg bottles. My system takes 4 bottles using 2 at a time.
I'm paying £85.50 for a pair, and these will last me 4 weeks.

I may cough a little, but reading the forums, some people are using £35+ per week on mains gas, so actually considering the cold weather, I'm doing quite well.

It does pay to shop around, and with having the bottles, you are not tied to the supplier.
I just rang around, found out who delivered to my area, asked if they charged a deposit, and went with the best service.

Regards
Munchie
