Cheaper to disconnect gas, or a mistake re cost of disconnect?

Surely, you can just get it capped off at the meter for no charge at all?
Yes, but the gas meter still exists so you need a gas contract - I think. You can't simply forget it exists, because you have to pay the Gas Transporter for the rent / maintenance of the meter and network supply.
However, reading 4 energy company Terms & Conditions for Dual Fuel contracts I can find nothing that says "if you have a dual fuel contract, you must draw N kWh of gas or will be charged a minimum amount".
So yes, it seems I just get the meter outlet capped and continue a dual fuel supply, draw no gas, and bizarrely they get nothing on the gas side and I get a dual fuel discount.
Can those of us with no possibility of mains gas insist on having a
bogus gas meter installed so that we qualify for dual fuel tariffs then?
British Gas had the temerity last week to come around trying to sell
loft and cavity wall insulation in our village last week.
