The average price people in the U.S. pay for electricity is about 12 cents per kilowatt-hour. (Context: A typical U.S. household uses about 908 kWh a month of electricity.) But there's huge variation from state to state. Here's a map of residential electricity prices, according to the Energy Information Administration.
Surprisingly, the average person drives 37 miles per day, and the average car mpg in 2008 was 25 mpg, so that's about 1.5 gallons per person just on driving. This means a per household fuel usage of gas is likely double that, 3 gallons. So on average we use about 4 times as much energy driving, than we use in our home.herefore, the average home uses about 24 kilowatt hours of electricity in a 24 hour period. If your power rate is 10 cents per Kwh, then you are paying about 10 cents per hour or $2.40 per day-more if your home is electrically heated and you live in Fairbanks or Winnipeg in January.
