Our bill for July:

1809 kWh

$134.66 + 4.42 in taxes/fees = $139.08. Pretty average. That works out to about $0.0744/kWh.

Our average cost per day is $4.08. Average kWh per day has actually gone up; 52.3 in July 2002, 54.8 in July 2003.

Highest month's usage were actually December 2002 and March 2003 at ~60+kWh/day. Lowest was May 2003, at ~36kWh/day. Not sure why May was so low...

Update: August:

Only 1471kWh from 7/16/03 to 8/18/03.

$111.09, or 0.0755/kWh. Last billing period, it was only 0.0744.. so I guess the cost of electricity has gone up slightly in the last month. :p
 

Our electric bill for July was only $61. We live in an attached condo, and our everyone using their air conditioning keeps things cool, so there's no need to turn it down past 75.

I believe my parents electric varies from $60-100 and my dorm room has free electricity. We are soaking it up with two XP desktops and a dually server.

$169.54 - Riverside, CA. I swear, my condo is leaking power. I don't use AC half the days, my computer is off 75% of the day. I pay 0.12 per kw/hr.

Yeah, geesh. I can't believe you all didn't run and get your electric bill to post in this thread, I mean.. the question was "How much electricity do you use?", not "How much is your electric bill?". :p

I work at an energy engineering company and we look for ways to save our customers on their energy bill every month. It is always calculated in kWH's.
