My meter registers consumption in cubic feet. British Gas charges in KwH.
There is a 'conversion carried out to convert cubic feet (consumed) into
cubic meters thence into KilowattHours.

According to British Gas's helpful explanation on their bills and website;
the cubic feet consumed is _multiplied_ by 2.38 (the website states that his
step my be omitted if the meter registers in m^3) then transmogrifies into
KilowattHours via a series of multiply by the number you first thought of
....

As far as I can see: British Gas are stating that one cubic foot equates to
2.38 cubic metres! I've asked British Gas to confirm this but all I've got
are flunky's responses that the 'equation' leads to a correct calculation of
my bill.

100 cubic feet is 2.83 cubic metres. I'd bet that the meter registers in
hundreds.
