Have at least 1 computer on all evening with pretty big speakers attached, 46" tv with HD box, receiver and speakers, few lights and such and a A/C running in one room all night and another fan in a different room and God only knows how many other electricity sipping appliances, I paid $75 this month for electricity, I'm getting charged 9.5 cents/kWh, I would be really interested to see how that compares to what other pay.

The gas may be another story. I only have 2 exterior walls in this place but the insulation in this place is crap. On top of that, the furnace must be a good 20 yrs old. In the dead of winter this year, my highest bill for gas was$155.53. Looks as though I pay $10.73/GJ. Again, would be interested in how that compares to others.
I signed up for Easymax in March, and locked in for 5 years at 8¢ a kWh, and 8.95¢ a GJ, on the advice of a buddy in the oil business. He said natural gas was really undervalued at the time...
My tiny 600 s updown duplex house averages $2-300/ month combined with or with out renters upstairs.
