It's not just mains gas customers who have been on the receiving end of large increases over recent months - those living in rural areas and relying on liquid gas delivered by tanker have also seen big price rises.
Barbara Bonnette contacted Jobs & Money after noticing her gas bill had shot up 22% in the last nine months. She, along with around 200,000 households in the UK, has no access to mains gas even though she lives in a village just two miles from Malmesbury in Wiltshire.
"There is a misconception that most users of liquid gas live half way up a mountain or on a farm, but that's not true. There are more than 100 houses in our hamlet of Milbourne and although we are less than two miles from the town centre, British Gas isn't interested in extending the mains supply unless we all pay over £1,000."
