MoneySaving Expert EV Tariffs Wrong?

I've just been browsing the following page:

https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/ev-energy-tariffs/

My concern is that it does not appear to actually reflect the correct pricing or am I missing something? The Intelligent Octopus Go tariff is completely different to what I pay. The table quotes the cheap rate as 8p whereas I pay 5.2p. Similarly, the standard rate is quoted as 33.50p whereas I pay 26.36p. These are the new rates from 1 April. This is a significant difference and makes me question all of the prices shown. I have seen this before with Octopus Go pricing being wrong. Is there a regional variation?

    You (and I) are on a legacy version of the IOG tariff. Anyone joining today will be paying 8p and 33p.

    See https://octopus.energy/tariffs for details of the current tariffs available to new joiners. Or here where I posted details earlier today.
