Why No Fixed Rate Gas Only Tariffs?

If someone for whatever reason doesn't want a dual fuel tariff, but wants a fix on gas only, then why not offer it?

But that does not make a gas only fixed tariff economically unviable?
I can still buy a gas only variable tariff-why not a fix?No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
I too think it strange. There's obviously an economic reason but I don't know what it can be if they let you fix the gas as part of a dual fuel deal?0
