I'm glad you're tracking this. I just started tracking mine too. I have a top loading Whirlpool washer that is probably 5-10 years old. So far I've found that a medium sized cold water load set to regular plus an extra rinse uses .32 kwh. A super sized cold water load set to regular is .24 kwh adding an extra rinse cycle bumps that to .34 kwh. I won't pollute your thread any more, but I thought the comparison was interesting. I'll start my own thread after I've recorded more loads.
