Your gas meter records cubic metres of gas used (or cubic feet if it’s an old one). You have to refer to your bill to find out how many actual kWh of gas that equates to because there’s a further calculation required, to factor in the energy content (”calorific value”) of the gas supplied to you. I guess your counter-top smart meter might do this calculation, though as I’ve been supplied a dodgy smart meter I don’t know.
But if you want to do a straight comparison of what you’re using compared to your neighbours or other forum members, as long as we’re all comparing the same thing it doesn’t really matter which units we’re using. I haven’t had my first bill yet so I don’t know how my gas use translates from m3 to kWh.
