What would the increase in fuel costs be? moving from 1 bed flat to 2 bed house

We are thinking of moving up the renting ladder a bit. We have a 1 bedroom flat with electric and no gas and are considering a 2 bedroom terrace with gas and electric.

We use all the usual appliances but are very conscientious about them. Turning everything off except the fridge and clocks when not in or when they are not in use.
Over the last 4 months we've had out meter read and have spent £66.18 on the electric, this will include heating, the oven and electric shower.

Having spoken to our friends in a similar 2 bedroom house to the one we are looking at they spend £70 a month on electricity!! which seems pretty shocking to me. Though i know they are both terrible for leaving lights on all over the house through out the night and Tvs etc constantly on standby.

Is there anyway we can get a ruff idea for our possible future bills to produce a monthly budget

We are both frugle but have got no idea how much more it may cost.
Or the cost difference with regards fuel since we are not heating or cooking using electricity, will gas be cheaper as a fuel?

Edit of btw we are a couple so only two of us
