How much is WPS charging you per kWh? (including all the carrying charges).

Even if you getting good kW hours per gallon, you will likely only match
the cost of buying grid power. Sooner or later, it's going to cost more
per KWH using gasoline, because of breakdowns etc.

As good as you are at conservation, grid power should cost you peanuts.

We are using about 0.7 kWh on average (24/7). About 15 cents an hour.
During mild weather, most of our use is from cooking, washing and drying clothes and dishes etc.
Of course this PC is on almost all the time and sucks down a lot of watt hours..

Cheers,
Rich
