For whatever reason I decided to try and express our annual household gas usage (heating, hot water and cooker hob, family of 3) in Range Rover terms, and it's equivalent to 3,630 miles driven in a 3.0l diesel 2021 Range Rover
Or 2,494 miles in the Range Rover Sport SVR. The average UK car drives 7,400 miles a year, so that's a 1/3 of a year of emissions (or half, for the 3.0l diesel)
A "hybrid" SUV like the Lexus RX will get you about 4,611 miles, or 62% of a year's average motoring.
(The sum is 0.185 kg / CO2 emissions per kWh of gas burned. You can get official* per km CO2 emissions off car manufacturer websites).
* = I think they get to measure and declare these themselves so will treat these with a sack of salt.

This is a 2 bedroom, late 19th century, stone & brick-built, tenement flat with single glazing (draught proofed and well maintained) and a gas combi boiler
