British Gas Tariffs

My British Gas Online Saver 4 tariff (Gas only) is coming to an end at the end of October. As all of the suppliers have not yet announced their increases, I'm not sure what to change to.

I got all of the unit prices for the British Gas tariffs (their increased prices from Nov 15th 2012) and worked out how much more they would cost compared with my usage and bills for the past 12 months on the Online Saver 4 - these figures might also be useful for anyone else whose Online Saver 4 is coming to an end.

These are the percentage increases compared with my past 12 months on Online Saver 4:

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]
Fix & Fall (pay by card)                +17.54%
Fix & Fall (pay by D/D)                 +10.48%
Clear & Simple (pay by card)            +14.13%
Clear & Simple (pay by D/D)              +7.30%
Online Variable Nov 2013 (pay by D/D)    +0.82%
Discount Variable Nov 2013 (pay by card) +9.57%
Discount Variable Nov 2013 (pay by D/D)  +2.97%[/SIZE][/FONT]

So I'm currently thinking of just switching to their Online Variable for the time being.

Does anyone know if there will be any exit fee if I then decide to swap to another supplier in a few months time?

Online variable Nov 2013 has a £30 per fuel exit fee

Their next cheapest the Discount Variable Nov 2013 also has a £30 exit fee - perhaps all British Gas tariffs have this fee.

In all a saving of £240.
