And for my usage, the new prices would mean the yearly bill would be 50% higher than my current npower gas tariff.
Wont be changing to them then.0 -

Cheapest can be found on comparison sites. It varies by region/energy used/standing charges so there is no simple answer.
Get your yearly gas/electric from your bills (you have been checking them and making sure that the meter readings are correct not estimates) and try a few websites.0 -
There is no 'cheapest': it depends on usage and region.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Thanks guys I will check the comparison website. At present I am with Scottish Power (for both gas and elec). But I am moving house soon and I think I will just stick with Scottish Power to save any other hassle .. any ideas?0

For me the cheapest gas available is £7 (1%) cheaper than my current deal and with my current supplier, the cheapest "big 6" is £74 (13%) dearer and BG's new cheapest is £285 (50%) dearer so dropping their prices by a measly 5% is only to grab a headline and try to fool the stupid.0

The Scot Power one that I am looking at present has Standing charge of 20p and unit rate of 3.31p0
