I am using app engine to execute a lot of background tasks to modify contact info etc. A single user can cause 2$ CPU cost per day easily.
Just to give you an example that there is no direct correlation between users / cost. For the apps that I've built so far the CPU cost + limited number of indexes are my main concern in terms of quota. (+ stability & datastore problems, but that's a different story).
