I just keep seeing the prices creep up slowly and with having 2 EV cars in the family and a washer, dryer and dishwasher all with timers, I do wonder if it's now time to switch back to go or Intelligent go?!

We use ~11,000 kWh per year, 50% of which is the EVs so it could be 50% @ 25p & 50% @ 7p on Intel Go, average = ~16p vs 100% @ ~20.5p on Tracker or whatever the new average is going to be..

Not sure if we can switch the electric but leave the gas on tracker? Anyone done this or switched back to Intelligent Go from Tracker?

Per my signature block, my elec is Intelligent Go but my gas is Tracker. It's not an unusual combination. Octopus should be able to switch you.

Did you switch away from tracker for Electric or did you only switch to the gas tracker all along?

I don't think I ever had electricity on Tracker. I joined Octopus for electricity on Flexible back in late 2021 then switched quickly to Go, before moving to Intelligent Go this year.. I brought my gas over separately onto Tracker in mid 2022 and haven't changed since.

32p for me, now in my last couple of weeks of dec23 tracker, will be moving over to a fix but generally I have saved a fair amount this year

... and an Intelligent-compatible charger.

Gas Tracker is staying relatively flat., despite the surge in Electricity Tracker.

Spot wholesale gas is current 111p per therm which equates to 3.8p / kWh.
It has come down slightly from 4.15p per kWh during November.
These high electricity prices are due to Nuclear being offline and lack of wind meaning backup gas turbines are being used.
Forecast is more wind from the 14th, so hopefully some relief in a few days time.
