Is there an App which......

Shows me the total number of hours my computer has been running and awake during the last day/week/month/year?

My computer is set to sleep after a period of non use, and I sometimes switch it off completely. So the app needs to store the on-awake-time across shutdowns.

Standard power consumption of my awake Mac Pro system is 370 watts (all connected through a meter), and I would like to know how much it is contributing to my fuel bills, and monitor trends.

I know there are lots of ways to show up-time, but that is not what I am seeking here.

Thanks

Mike

Maybe you could set that to an applescript to log every 15 minutes to create a cumulative load total in a separate log.
