              The above link is to another thread. Hobbyweld quote £60 deposit but for example this lot give a few prices that vary a lot depending on gas mix. I don't have any experience here – just googled 'welding gas' and it came up.

              What rate does one use gas in litres per hour if that is a suitable unit?

                Assuming you mean mig ?

                for the "odd job" yes for any more no

                you are far better off with the refillable bottles, the initial expense is high but pay back is dramatic

                most people find the disposable bottle only last 15 -20 minutes and can be empty every time you go to use it once opened.

                on the other hand

                Have you looked at Mig wire with the flux built in ie no gas !!

                for gas welding definately no.
