Staying warm

Hi All,
As we get ready for another cold winter & rocketing heating bills. I was thinking about buying a Flavel gas fire (there's even one called the Misermatic). I know they look hideous & my wife cant stand them but surely it must cheaper than using the the feeble convector electric fire we have that just seems to dry out my contact lenses!
Please don't suggest changing tariffs to save money we all know cartel merry go round. Are these gas fires really economical ? I do have a gas pipe going to the fire place so with a bit of plumbers tape & a spanner It should be an easy fix. http://static.moneysavingexpert.com/images/forum_smilies/sport-smiley-001.gif Feed back please
