2. I'm guessing that is good?
What is normal usage for a family of four?

5. Wow!
And I thought I was doing very well at 120 kWh a month!

Congratulations! How'd you do it?

I can't think of anything else I can do to cut my usage any further, except use the computer less (NOT gonna happen!) and use Sterno for cooking instead of my microwave and toaster oven! :D

9. How'd you do that?
Burning candles for light? I mean, we know you keep your computer on... Man, you make *me* feel guilty, and we use about 1/2 the household average for our state...

10. It is, of course, remarkable, especially given that a refrigerator consumes about 4 kwh per day.

And they're talking "best available" here.

I would think that typing a lot of messages here would up your use though.

That is really, really, really good.

11. Interesting...
The fridge uses less energy than it should.

But yeah, the fridge is the big energy sucker. :P
