Have i got right prices on meter?

I have a gas prepayment meter and for some reason it is eating the credit so fast.

we are not having the heating on at the moment and only use gas in the last week for the gas hob on our cooker.

we are with BG and the gas prices and standing charge is showing as this

Rate unit price 4.780 Tariff cost 5

Standing Charge 0.2600

The prices are right for our area but are they set our right on the meter?

i know prices are sky high but to me something is just not right with how much we are putting into the meter when we are not using it much.
