I average 12.5kw per day, with 5 people in the house. What are you guys running?
I don't have a TV though, or a dishwasher or a dryer, a PC is on nearly 24/7 but a while ago I replaced it with a low power Intel Atom server.

I do run a projector for watching movies/DVDs, an ancient electric stove, a single medium sized fridge and electric hot water, but the tank is inside which may help. I'm not particularly good with turning out lights, and we have wireless internet.
I do switch off all the transformers (phone chargers etc.) at the wall when not in use, and showers are quick (I used to be on tank water and am still in the habit I guess) but we don't make any particular effort with power.

Not sure why my power usage is *so* much lower than some of you guys.
