Is dual fuel really the best way? Whenever I use the comparison sites the savings available by taking separate suppliers for gas and elec is always more than dual fuel from the best supplier.

    Not always however the comparison sites may not be accurate. If you could post the usages you used and the area you live in I'm sure someone here could check. Are you paying by monthly direct debit?
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    A while ago I could save money by going to separate suppliers for my gas and electricity but now dual fuel is the cheapest for me.

    It all depends on your usage and where you live.
