I stopped using my UPS for the very same reason.
UPS on computer shutdown, 60 watts usage
UPS turned off with power button nothing connected 55 watts
...err 55 watts and it should be off, i had this thing plugged in for 2 years and the minumum power draw was 55 watts.
The minumum electricity cost of the UPS was £120 for the two years I had it !!

its crazy isn't it. I'm sure 50% of all the electrical equipment that we have in our homes are as guilty as these examples.
Why can't manufactures clock onto the fact that consumer doesn't want to pay 100s of pounds just running their equipment in standby/true-off mode. They are more guilty than the consumers with regards to wasting electricity (and Global warming)

i bought a meter a week ago. I found I was using 120w every night. printer on standby, scanner, plasma, video, hdd, freeview, phone charger, usb port, router, low voltage lamps, phone charger, laptop psu,pc.
worth the £ 16 it cost to find out
my htpc uses 120 watts all day, perhaps its time to switch it off when not using it

I was wondering if the little power indicator on your power block was contributing to the reading that's all

arh, I see...
Nope, it doesn't look as though the power block affects the readings.
