RE: CurrentCost

>From the FAQ:

My tariff alters after a number of units, what figure should I enter into
t=
he display?

The Current Cost monitor is designed to highlight wastage and is not
intend=
ed to be a revenue meter. The reason a cost is on there is to offer some
re=
levancy to the wattage used. The best currency to highlight wastage is
ener=
gy (expressed as watts) although money ultimately saved is an obvious
benef=
it.=20

A good solution, offered by a user is:
Add the two tariffs together, then add five per cent VAT, finally divide
by=
two, and enter this value in as a single tariff.
