Confused with M3 and FT3

Hello,

I don't know whether this is an easy question to answer or an impossible one.

I've just compared my npower bill with a friends of mine. The bills are as follows

My usage was 93 cubic feet = 2993kwh = £117.80

My friends usage was 152 cubic meters = 1735kwh = £60.61.

Am I being a bit stupid here but should the bill measured in cubic feet be the one that is using less kwh not the one measured in cubic metres?

The above figures seem backwards to me, am I being overcharged for my gas???

Any experts out there that can advise. Thanks for your time. Lee.

    No your not wrong i do believe there has been a big mistake here. The above link takes you to the metric converter which will show you the difference.

    The calculations are correct because an imperial meter actually measures hundreds of cubic feet, not cubic feet.
