Nah, do their "Special order to store" and pickup yourself, so no extra shipping charges, and since it's at the store, use the 15% coupon too...

Actually the nationwide average as of August was $0.12/KWH and in places like California, it can be as high as $0.20/KWH.

I've calculated the generation cost for a mid sized diesel genset a few times and each time I've found that the fuel cost per KWH pretty well matched the current utility cost per KWH, with the critical caveat that you had to be running the generator consistently at full rated load. Any time you are not running full load your cost per KWH goes up drastically. This of course also doesn't factor in maintenance parts like oil and filters.
