Electric bill very low Gas bill huge!!!

Options
Hi everyone, :j

recieved my quarterly gas and electric bill this morning for a total of £102.26

i pay by monthly direct debit (thank god) of £30 per month

so im £12.26 in debit and it will be carried over to next quarter

was pretty chuffed as is one thing on my list that seems to be in order :T

had a quick look over the break down and was supprised to see that only £6.97 of the £102.26 was for electric making my gas charges a whopping £100.05:eek: (plus vat and i then got a discount for £9.63 for i assume having both leccy and gas with PG)


Now forgive me if this is normal but i have never been in control of my bills to the point where i know how much what costs but is this normal?????:rolleyes:

TIA

    Have you missed a meter reading-and they have estimated the bill?
