So with the house nice and toasty from the Regency I3100, the propane furnace doesn't come on at all. We do still have a propane hot water tank (35 gals) and a propane cook stove (4 18000 btu burners with electric oven). I'm wondering if our propane usage is in line, hi, low for these 2 things.

Last few deliveries have been:

Oct 8 279 litres (this was for the whole summer since June)
Nov 30 251 litres 53 days avg 4.73 litres/day
Jan 13 202 litres 44 days avg 4.59 litres/day

Does this seem reasonable for dhw and cooking? (I know the answer is "it depends", but there's 2 of us in the house, take 1 shower each / day, run the dishwasher an avg of 1 time / day and cook a few meals a week. Anyone have comparable usage from a tankless propane heater??
