Hi everyone I got my gas bill today and it makes for some instresting reading, If I am right. This this a way to bill all customers a pound or two more on their bill. My bill reads
Start date 05/09/05 meter reading 4594(actual read) end date 16/10/05 meter reading 4703( estimted) units used 109 @1.554 makes =A318.91 for 42 days
Then the price goes up
start date 17/10/05 meter reading4703 (estimated) end date 04/12/05 meter reading 4927 (actual read) units used 224 @1.764 makes =A344.12 for 49 days
My point is I know that I used 333 units over the total 91 days but not that my gas use almost doubled after the price rise. Seeing that at the date of the change over point for the price rise ,Scottish Power Manweb had no ideal how much gas I have really used until my meter was read on the 04/12/05. In other words I think I used more gas at the lower price and less gas at the higher price.
