So enegry remove fixed rates

Hi all.
Just went to have a look again at the offer of 115pcm for a 1 Yr fixed rate-currently paying £54.00pcm znd staying withing this.
Noted they have withdrawn all fixed raye tariff. It states my DD from 2st April will be £68pcm.
Does this sound right? Seems low in comparison. I know as its variable it will go up znd down dependent on usage. See pic attached especially last 2. The first 2 are i think there variable rates.
Cheers have a great day.

    The £64 is based on their old rates not the new April ones

    They have performed their calculation using the current rates, not the rates which come into effect on 1st April. You need to recalculate. 
    Electricity 365days @ 43.38 plus 1520 units @ 28.45 gives 432.44+158.34 = £590.78
    Gas 365 days @ 27.21 plus 6382 units @ 7.47 gives 99.32+476.35 + £575.67
    So your forecast energy cost for the year are £1166.45 NOT £762. You should pay them £97pcm. Why not round it up to an even £100.
