British Gas tell me I'm not paying enough ... but using a fraction of their forecast

Aargh ... MSE blocked the post and then posted it anyway ... please ignore this one.

so what am I missing?

You are missing the fact that at this time of the year your gas consumption is only a fraction of how much it will be later in the year.

The average bill these days is £1,300pa(say £110 a month) so £77 is low even allowing for the fact you are on your own. Also heating bills will depend on the insulation standards of the property and efficiency of your boiler.

Also 3 months - May to August is not really long enough to conclude you 'shouldn't be using anywhere near £77 a month'

As above. It's perfectly normal to use 75% of your annual gas consumption in the coldest 3 months of the year.

I have used 70.00 of lpg jun - aug, but I used just over 2000.00 dec - feb. That can be the sort of variable possible.
