Gas & Electric annual kWh/price confusion
Options
Can a seasoned MSE help me out with this one please, I've been driving myself bonkers with it all morning and am sure the answer is staring me in the face?
My current EON deal ends next month so I've started looking around for a good deal, I'm currently on EnergyOnline ExtraSaver v11 with Standing Charge for G&E.
My annual kWh usage for Gas: 2070 and Electric: 3929
The problem I'm having is that when I put these annual usage figures into a comparison site (and have tried a couple!), they calculate that my annual spend for dual fuel is £565-ish.
My actual annual spend is closer to £1070, at least that's what I paid last year.
Where am I going wrong?

2070 kWh of gas p.a. is very low.
Is the 2070 actually the units as measured on the meter? If so, that won't be kWh. You'll need to convert to kWh."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
You can use these tools to convert gas units into kWhs

Thank you so much Premier and Bark01 - I knew something was wrong but couldn't for the life of me figure it out!
Phew - on with the rest of the day now! :T0
