Trying to figure out usage

Hi,

difficult to say, you haven't told us what type of house you're heating.

Flat, semi, terraced, how many rooms?

Irrelevant, actual meter readings have already been provided.

Not really, OP is asking if the usage is particularly high, in which case it would be helpful to know if this is for a 1 bed flat (very high) or an ancient 5 bed mansion (average to low, depending on how the OP likes to set the temp) 
So relevant in terms of the OPs question.

Hi,

ok, but maybe that gas usage is for a one bed flat, maybe a 4 bed house, so might be expensive for a one bed flat but cheap for a 4 bed house.

While I understand where you're coming from, why complicate things with needing exact details?
People need to simply answer or move on instead of coming back with another question that is relatively pointless.

On average... for an average house, pick three or four bedrooms... whatever YOU think average is.

"yes, that's about right on average"
"for a average 3 bedroom house, that's a little low"
"I'd say if you're living in a new build house, 4 bedrooms, that's pretty good"

Because you asked:

Does that seem quite high for gas?

Take your choice from:

• Yes, it's very high for a 1-bed flat.
• Kinda, it's about 25% higher than average.
• It's not too bad for a pre-war 3-bed detatched house.
• No, it's very low for a stately home.
  

Pick the answer that best reflects your situation.

Hi,

If you'd googled before coming here you could've found this,

So looks like your, Electricity: 2,675kWh, is above average for a 1 bed flat, and Gas: Approx 16,544, is below average for a 5 bed house.

Play around with the figures using your house size until you get an average of averages, see what the optimum average is.

Though looks like you're probably Mr Average.

Alternatively, instead of asking for details, details, details, you could have just worked with what you had.
If I wanted exact answers, I would have provided more details.  But it's understandable as many people don't provide details yet want exact answers - I didn't.  Replying isn't compulsory - if there aren't enough details for you to formulate an answer, move on.
But thanks, I guess.

Asking 'How do I subtract X from Y' on a forum isn't compulsory - if you don't want people to provide additional helpful information don't post in the first place, move on.

If you ask for free advice on the internet, expect people to answer it as they see fit, rather than trying to dictate how they should respond. If you wanted a vague answer you should have asked for a vague answer, rather than just being vague about what you wanted.
