How to compare dual fuel?

Excuse me if I am being really thick but I cant find a gas/electricity comparison site that will do a comparison if I get BOTH my gas and leccy from one supplier (Eon)
they all seem to ask for an amount spent on a monthly basis for both utilities rather than a total cost for both.

Any help would greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance

    I know what you mean. It's really best to put in the kwh used rather than the money spent but if you can't do that then just guess. That's what I do. Ovo charged me £61 so I split it £40 for gas and £21 and elec and then tried again with a slightly different balance. Any which way I did it, it came out with the same as the cheapest supplier. Then I worked out the kwh used and it gave me the same answer.

    Do not use monthly spend figures.
    You need to quote annual Kilowatt hour usage for both fuels.
    If you cant find a current bill, which should give you this information, phone your supplier and ask.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    ... then compare single fuel alternatives before making any final decision.

    You may be pleasently surprised by the results :)
