lemme see here... 1000 hp = 745.699871582 Kw
for 8.2 seconds, that’s a hell of a lot more tan “nine cents”

Assuming your hp conversion figure is correct, and with an average price of 10 cents/kw-hour:

745.7 kw x .10/kw-hr x 1 hour/3600 sec x 8.2 seconds = .1698538 dollars,

or about 17 cents.

You're right. 745kw for 8.2 seconds = 1.7kwhr = all of 17 cents.
