Are you calculating delivery into your Miners power consumption?

I just wanted to get a quick show of hands and some feedback from some of you guys. How many of you that live in states where electricity has been deregulated are calculating in the actual total cost of your electricity not just what your supplier charges you?

For example, my on grid power is $0.06.54 / Kw, that is the price listed on the bills, but when i add in the "delivery / transmission" fees to the total bill paid every month it actually calculates out to over $0.1756 / Kw. calculated by dividing the total bill by the total usage.

I see people all the time talking about their uber cheap electric, which may be the case for the supply, but after some homework find out that 90% of those states and regions that have cheap supply have high cost for delivery so it really does not matter where you live you are not going to get power in the USA for less than $0.10 kw when you do the math and some places its over $0.22 when you calculate delivery.

In short, i just want a show of hands on those who actually did the full equation when they started speculating their profits, and any who are truly under $0.10 with the delivery included i would like to see some proof as i would be interested in acquiring some property in your neck of the woods.
