Default Neon sign power usage?

Guys I picked up some cheap neon signs at Target a few years ago and decided to finally set them up. They are all pretty small so my question is how much power will these run me a year. Thanks

Chris

Look for an amperage or wattage rating on the transformer. Neons use little power. The underbody tubes on my car are rated to draw half an amp, or 6 Watts
