British Gas revised pricing

Commenting on British Gas Click Energy 4 again becoming the cheapest product on the market, Paul Schofield, head of utilities at moneysupermarket.com, said: "Some are calling it a price-war, but the battle between Scottish & Southern and British Gas is suddenly looking more like an Olympic game of table tennis.

"The mantle of Britain's cheapest dual fuel product has passed between British Gas Click Energy 4 and Scottish & Southern Price Fix 2008 five times in the past 12 days.

"With Click Energy 4 now undercutting Price Fix 2008 by 31p, it might be fair to call the duel a dead-heat, but with consumers as the ultimate winners.

"These two products are now over £100 cheaper than the average standard tariff for a medium home. With winter approaching, and a change of provider taking about six weeks, now would be a great time to act."
