Katex your gas consumption sounds way over the odds - your meter could be running fast - I had one like that once - paid about £15 for a meter check and because the meter WAS faulty I got that £15 refunded + recalculation of last 2 quarters bills.
OR - your boiler may be old and inefficient - you might get some help with replacement - look here

Aaah, thanks for your help Margaret. Seems boiler OK according to maintenance man, Burner Pressure, ventilation flue, Combustion all came up to scratch (yes, am reading his report). He said is not that. Could be that the meter needs 're-calibrating' ? Must admt, have had notices for them to change it, but could never sort out a mutual appropriate time, and gave up in the end, so maybe me to blame ..

I also had a gas meter once that ran slow - wonderful

- until it started to go backwards and was changed. Well what you lose on the roundabouts you gain on the swings. Meters aren't infallable - that is probably the problem.
