Default Surely gas has now overtaken oil as most expensive fuel?

I would be interested in some figures on this sort of thing as I am trying
to work out whether it is cheaper to heat my water overnight using oil or

With E7 you often pay a bit more during day rate, which can cancel out
the saving.
With E7 you're heating the water many hours before its wanted, so use
more energy to compensate for cooling later on.

E7 is not generally competitive.
