I think water temp is the deciding factor. On my w/m, the half hour 40deg programme is more expensive on elec than the standard 30deg.0 -

15p for a 50 degree wash plus 4p for the water (meter) plus the cost of detergent. 65 degrees will be considerably more0

Depends if you want to include the cost of detergent too.0
