October was rainy and cool but not cold in Atlanta. We used a little more natural gas because it was about 15% cooler than October, 2008. The big news is that we used about half as much electricity as we did this month last year, continuing the saving from September and hopefully establishing a welcome pattern.
Saving energy at home is really starting to pay off! Our savings from last October to this October is $50 — with the air conditioner turned off.
