I had a whistling kettle stored away which I am now using on the gas stove
Queston is which one is cheaper to run?
Should i bother buying a new electric kettle?
Cheers

You need to know how much a kWh of electric and gas costs, then you can work it out 
The info will be on the back of your last bill

They take too long. It would be a close call i reckon in cheapness. The new kettles take no time at all too boil where as the whistlers take an
age.
My leccy kettle takes no time at all to boil when nearly full so i know which id rather when i was gagging for a brew,.

We have a quick boil gas kettle which takes no time. The main point is don't put more water in than you need and it will save time and money.
You would probs never be able to work out which is cheapest for you unless you have a water dosing system that is calibrated to cup sizes so you can
optimised the water heated : water needed ratio.
Your other option is to only drink cordials and therefore ne need for a kettle at all. Or just go to the pub instead......
SAVE LOADS
every time you fancy a drink call round at your neighbours house
heat it over an open fire, then its free. 
I don't know - I ask a serious question and all I get is daft answers
If you live somewhere where your kettle scales up quickly stick with the stove top one as it will survive longer as you can clean it more easily.
Then you don't need to buy new ones as often, saving money that way.
The most fuel efficient way (and therefore cheaest) of using a kettle is only to put as much water in it as you need to use instead of filling it to
the brim each time.
