Comments on: British Gas Fixed Price Gas until 2012, is it the best deal? http://www.moneyhighstreet.com/blog/british-gas-fixed-price-gas-until-2012-is-it-the-best-deal/ The latest personal finance news and information Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:04:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: CD http://www.moneyhighstreet.com/blog/british-gas-fixed-price-gas-until-2012-is-it-the-best-deal/#comment-3152 CD Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:49:43 +0000 http://www.moneyhighstreet.com/?p=822#comment-3152 Diane - your arguments are sound - but - they are similar to the arguments used in 2005 when British Gas offered a fixed 'price protection until 2010' deal - cheaper gas & electricty were 'in the pipeline' and so few people took up the offer. I am on eof teh few I think who took up the offer - and have been smiling all the way to the bank ever since. To put it into perspective - my annual gas & electricity bill will more than double when the deal ends in April. And I had to make an alteration to my deal in 2008 which put up my deal price by a further 50% at that time - but I am still in pocket. I also wanted to fix my payments so I could budget effectively - so I did the deal. I will probably do so again at renewal time. My opinion is that gas & oil prices will rise and rise - shortages are predicted. Hope this helps.
