Default Origin energy Gas insane high gas bills, anyone else

Hi guys, I have metered Origin LPG gas to my house. My last house also had LPG gas which was used for hot water only with two 45kg bottles. Now my last house we used an average of one bottle or $180 every 3 months. This house with also gas hot water we are using $600 every 3 months. Now nothing has changed with regards to the way we use or shower but the bill is 3 times the price. First bill was $600 second bill was $500 as first bill was winter and this one the end of winter and into summer. There must be a reason for this because there's no way where using 3 times the amount of gas. The plumber has checked for leaks and checked the hot water system but it's fine.

I believe we are being ripped off by origin and the meter is dodgy. I am going to make up some fittings and fill a 9kg bbq bottle and see how much the meter says it takes to fill it. Has anyone else had problems with high gas bills and thought the meter was ripping them off. Apparently there's others in the area that have disconnected from the piped gas and put in bottles due to not trusting the meter. You can't tell what you using cause the meter just keeps adding up where the bottles you could see how many months you took to use one.
