Help! LPG Bulk Heating prices?

Options
Re-posting in right forum.

We recently moved to a 1 bed flat (1 bed, living room, bathroom, kitchen), located above a separate 2 bed flat. The flats are inside a barn conversion attached to a large farm.

Our heating is supplied by a bulk LPG calor gas tank outside (1200 litre size), and downstairs has heating and hot water off it.

There is no meter that I'm aware of. Landlord splits the bill 63% downstairs as his floorplan is bigger, and we pay the rest.

Landlord has had £100 off us already for having the tank filled up in September (we moved here on 8th Nov), and now wants another £120 for having just had it filled up again.

Price according to Calor is 47.9ppl.

We were advised by landlord on moving here, that price for gas would be roughly £35 per month. Now thinking that was an outright lie to get us in

Help! Is this normal???

What are the average monthly costs of LPG heating for a 1 bed flat?
The only thing we know for sure, is that we know nothing

    You could proabaly get away with £35 per month if you had already paid that throughout the summer (whan you are not using the heating). in winter i can quite easily get through £90 per month (2 bed house) depending on how often i am there.
    Obviously you did not use any gas before you moved in so i dont know what that was for?
