Wow - at that rate you could save over £60 every time you fill up a twin 11kg Gaslow (or similar) system. It would pay for itself after about 10 fillings.

Living the dream.
We went the Gas-it route and don't regret it for a minute. 11kgs empty to full.

I have a separate remote guage for each 11kg cylinder. They are pretty inaccurate. If it reads anything other than full, then its not full. That's about all you can rely on.

Back in the "good ol` days" Flo-gas used to log it at 5%VAT (non Road Fuel Rate). Now its all 20%. least I ever paid was about 16p/litre. The Vent was the most reliable, when it blew liquid it was @80%.. The first R-V had twin Fuel tanks (120 US gall) and 2 Propane 12ol Each. One for the genny one for domestic. I put in a crossover line and valve as we did not make much use of the genny anyway. so I could Run either as domestic.

BTW. I have a Calor and and an Energas Cyl. the Calor is £22quid(ish) the Energas one is 15Quid(ish). The drawback is that Energas ONLY have 3? depots in the UK!

Exactly my point when I questioned it. Thats the price from calor was the
answer, from my local shop.
Also the price of fuel has gone down but bottle gas has not, I thought its price is linked to petrol, well it is when the price goes up.
Like the price of Potatoes goes up, chips in the chip shop go up but never come back down.
