    That is interesting, I am indeed on month 10 with my current supply, however I did account for the two months by submitting an average for the two missing months, I did not realise it was already factored in, this may have given me false comparisons?. I did this with all the comparisons.
    How exactly do I choose the Ofgem option on the MSE comparison.

    Click the box that says:
    "This is the way Ofgem suggests your costs should be calculated...."


    However, this does not explain 3 totally different results you said in your OP you obtained from 3 different comparison sites

    Has anyone used the energy comparison sites and received completely different results to that of the MSE promoted 'Cheap Energy Club'

    I recently did a comparison of duel fuels on the cheap energy site. I used the very same data to do a comparison on another reputable site, and got hugely different results.
    I used the freephone number of the site in question to try and get some answers, unfortunately they declined to discuss their competitors results. Just for good measure I did another comparison on a third site using the same data, the results were different again, however closer to the latter.
    The only conclusion I can come to is, that Ed Milliband was right, the energy market is broken and corrupt, shopping for energy should never have happened.

    Hi Poet100,

    Are the savings amounts you're seeing different, or is it the actual tariffs costs which are different to other sites?

    If you drop us an email to energyclub@moneysavingexpert.com we can check your account and have a look into this for you.

    Thanks,
    MSE Laura
