So:

John in Spain:
Apartment (1 bed) - 1 person
No air conditioning
3 machine washes per week
PC always on
TV on maybe 1.5 hours every two weeks (to watch a DVD)
Cook 2-3 meals a week all electric

Ralphj in Brazil:
Apartment (assuming 2 bed) 2-3 persons
Air conditioning
2 TV's
One PC
2 machine washes a week
Cooking on gas

Graham in England:
3 bed terrace house 2 persons
Gas central heating, gas fire
2 tv's 6 hrs/day
PC on all day
3 machine washes per week
Cooking on Gas

Standard fees:
John in Spain: 75 € / month (1 person) only electric
Graham in UK: 88 € / month (2 persons) uses a lot of gas
Ralph in Brazil: 98 € /month (2-3 persons) all electric incl. air conditioning, cooking is gas
We should add the gas charges in as well to get a better idea.

Anyone else want to join in? Perhaps someone in the US or another European country?

So far I think Brazil is proving to be cheaper considering Ralph uses Air Conditioning which neither Graham and I use and services more people than both Graham and myself.
