66F, although the office is 70F or so (closed door, lost of insulation, 2 overclocked PCs).

Gas bill > $200/month.

Central Oregon - *sigh*

Gods, our summers are gorgeous, though.

I thought the east coast uses heating oil more so than they do natural gas?

And yeah, PG&E seems to always jack up the [nat gas] prices around winter time.

It's off. If i get too cold i turn it on full blast for 30 minutes or so and shut it off again. I live in a one bedroom apartment with electric heat.

$90 is far from insane. My last bill was $365 :Q:Q:Q:Q:Q

65F but I stay in my office throughout the day (with a PC) so it's warmer in there. At night sometimes when we hang out in the living room, I have to set it to at least 67F or our feet are ice blocks.

And $90 is nothing. We paid $150/mo. when it was $1.39/gal for oil and now that it's $2/gal... well... you can just imagine. The only saving grace is that it's only really cold for 4 months of the year.

I set mine at standard thermostat temps

Summer- 72*
Winter - 68*

Now if i'm home and it feels a little uncomfortable i'll bump it down to around 70 in summer
