The more bulbs or the higher the watts the more electricity it takes.I would replace all the with cdf 100 watt equivalent bulbs. They only take 26 watts each so three takes less than 1 100 watt regular bulb. They are more expensive but they do last 10 times longer than a regular bulb

Each bulb consumes a given amount of watts/energy. With one bulb out, your fixture is using 2/3 of the energy.

You will save money (not a lot) but have less light. You might want to switch to the new fluorescent bulbs that have the same light but a fraction of the electricity. I believe the lumens of a 60 watt bulb is only 12 watts in the florescent bulb.
