I clean mine fairly often and we don't notice any spikes in our utility bill. One good hint is to schedule a cleaning immediately after baking/roasting...the oven has a head start on heating up. I agree that gas stove burner racks clean wonderfully, my 2nd oven has liners that I remove and put in self clean oven. I also agree that there is unpleasant smell, but I can endure easier than using my own elbow grease!
