use disposable argon/Co2 bottles all the time on mig welder 3 x 60 ltr bottles £33.99 or 2 x 220 ltr bottles £65.92 single bottles cost more /need disposable gas bottle regulator if changing from large BOC bottle / disposable no licence to use bottle

Yeah,they're ok for small jobs ,but take a look at Hobbyweld exhange bottles . **LINK**

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.
