For reference, what is your water use like. Mine is 23 m3 for non-watering months. (e.g. Mar/Apr)

I'll post my own numbers when I get home as I don't have my bill handy.

Last month our house consumed 310 kWh. The average month since we moved into the house in May 2005 has been 350 kWh.

House is 11 years old, ~ 1800 sf

2 adults and 1 dog.

I play way too much Rock Band. We switched to CFL bulbs last year (I haven't noticed a decrease in energy consumption), the fridge, washer and dryer are all relatively new models (bought since 2005). I turn the computer off when it's not in use, though I do leave the wireless router on at all times.

I can't believe some of the consumption numbers I'm reading here.

It peaks in the 25-35 m3 range for watering months - we have a programmable sprinkler system that waters twice a week in the morning hours. Average consumption since I started tracking in July 06 is ~11 m3 per month.

Honestly, I think I screwed up my conversions, because it doesn't make any sense to me how we could be burning that much energy. Unless there's a secret grow op going on in the basement that I don't know about.

Sure sure, plausible deniability. Didn't realize you were converting the figures, that explains a lot. What unit do you get billed in?
