    I'm still on Gas Tracker but my daily gas use is down in single-digit kWh.

    I might reconsider in September or October!

    Edit to add: playing chicken with wholesale gas prices is a dangerous game and might not turn out to be MoneySaving.

    I've been using https://dashboards.energy-stats.uk/d/5cZqqmf4z/user-dashboard?orgId=1 to keep an eye on both Agile and Tracker. Over the last year, both gas and electricity average has been higher than the 12m fix I'm currently on. Agile, I might have saved 4-5p per kWh on electricity, but the late evening (20:00-22:00) rates of late are a bit too steep for my taste.

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
