How to compare gas online?

We were with EDF of the Online Saver 5 which has now ended and the electricity prices in particular have gone through the roof.

I read the tips about changing suppliers and that it may not be the cheapest option to use dual fuel which is what I have always done before now.

So I compared electricity and Scottish Power seems to be coming up cheapest for electricity but their gas prices aren't much different to EDF. Atlantic (who I was with before changing to EDF) are much cheaper on gas.

But I have tried uswitch and moneysupermarket but they only let you compare 'electricity' or 'electricity AND gas' but not gas prices on their own.

Is there any way to compare just gas without going onto all the suppliers sites? Also a few posts on here seem to suggest problems with Scottish Power but they are showing 4* for customer service on the comparison sites - should I look elsewhere?

Thanks!

    On Uswitch just click on the "Gas Only" tab on the results page.

    For me it shows
    Gas only £26.05 dearer
    Elec only £12.05 cheaper = £14 dearer dual
    Dual F £7.07 dearer

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
