    You are only saying what you are paying, not what you are using. What is you energy use over a 12 months period?
    1240 electric
    5256 gas 

    And what does that cost on your current tariff?  Basically - does the £85 a month cover the full cost of the energy over the course of a year?  
    I'm on the Octopus Tracker for gas and electric so the pricing is all over the place. I think 85 per month should just about cover my use
    Which version of Tracker?
    And which region are you in?

    Thanks @Alnat1
