Smart meters, less smart companies

I know all about the calculation. I just wanted them to tell me what the number actually refers to.
I just checked my latest bill and the difference between gas meter readings are shown as gas units. Gas units? Why can't they say cubic metres? It really is cubic metres.
 
You see what I mean then. The unit of Units on the meter/bill used to be 100 cubic feet. Now it's cubic metres, but nothing tells you. You just have to guess.
The calculation between Units and kWh used to include another fudge factor of 2.83 (the number of cubic metres in 100 cubic feet) and now it doesn't.
 
If you aren't on a fixed tariff make sure you take manual meter readings today and add them to your account. Don't expect the smart meter to do what you expect and read itself this morning. Mine never does. If you don't do this "they" will estimate the readings probably in their favour.
