You could both be right depending on the pressure of the gas (higher pressure and you get more gas in a cubic metre).

And conversely for temperature - but gas bills have an averaging correction factor for this.

(I used to make videos for a company that makes the meters!)

It depends on a number of factors - but as a rough guide:

1 Cubic meter is about 11kwh.

At a gas unit price of 3.5p/kwh (inc VAT), that makes it 38.5p/cu meter.
