i agree that is is important to base calculations on actual consumption, but it is more important to fill the fields in correctly. eg Powergen currently of 3% dd discount and 3% for their onebill, which on uswitch is classed energy saving plan. however, if you say that you use £100 on each annually (i know its a small amount but its just a visual) and you choose the energy saving plan, uswitch will say you spend £200 annually. however, if you choose powergen standard for both, uswitch will add the discount and say £188 annually. so when making calculations make sure that you are inputting you details correctly..... i hope that this makes sense?

Couldn't agree more about using the actual consumption unit for comparisons.

Im currently redoing my Gas & Elec article. I think one of the confusions is the 'when price changes are incorporated' and what assumptions are made about usage based on price. This means they don't always equate.

Unfortunately all Uswitch could say on your programme was
