How much does the cost of heating your home and/or cooking with gas change as one looks in different regions of the UK?

The prices have been gathered from visitor surveys and no normalisation of the data has been carried out for gas supplier price variation nor indeed whether the bills were for cooking or heating or indeed both. The price shown is per bedroom of the property and all types of property have been surveyed and the average price found.

It can be seen that the range of prices is considerably smaller than for electricity which tentatively showed a trend of higher electricity useage the further north you went. Here there is clearly no trend. Mains gas is mostly an urban utility and is generally cheaper to heat your home with than electricity.
