I've been told that supplying gas is very expensive which is why my gas bill

disconnected from my Gas supplier (npower, London) and use calor gas bottles

This year I plan to measure my gas usage, I only use Gas for the frontroom
fire which is one of the standard baxi gas heaters with flame and coal
effect behind glass.

My last 1/4 ly bill for gas was about £140. nov-feb approx

So does this saving sound reasonable am I and other being charged so much
for delivery of gas and would there be anything I should consider regarding
swapping over other than the usualy safety considerations.

Fire is probably fairly inefficient but cost still seems very high. No
leaks or gas cooker? Check the meter is stationary with the fire off.
Bottled gas is normally more expensive than piped. Go on uswitch or
similar and see if there is a far lower tariff.
