Anyone else having problems using moneysupermarket?

I have been trying to do a fuel price comparison using moneysupermarket. However, when I put in my fuel consumption using meter readings from the last year, it keeps giving me estimated savings based on my bills of £1536 for electricity, and £420 for gas!!!!!!!!!!
My actual spend was £541 in total........ about a quarter of what they are saying. I have tried re-doing it loads of times, made sure that I am putting my consumption as annually, but it seems that they are taking my meter readings as quarterly, IYKWIM.
I really would like to switch before Thurs to take advantage of the extra cashback, but I can't get anywhere. Anyone point me as to where I am going wrong, or is the site just misbehaving?

    Thought I'd try energy helpline, using the same details as above, and they are telling me I spend £295 per year. What is going on? Should I just go with whoever they are telling me is cheapest for me, even if they are under or overestimating my usage?
