I have been reading averages of what people do in Colorado and it is way different that what I do.

They say when it is warmer out to put the AC at 78 and when it is colder to leave it at 62.

I keep it at 72 for cooling and 68 for heating depending on the season. I never realized I was so far away from what is recommended.

70 in the winter in my room, 67-68 outside it

no central air, and while my window AC technically has a temperature setting, it doesn't seem to mean anything. i turn it on and off as needed. sometimes i turn it on at like, 72, sometimes i don't bother until it's in the low 80s.

leave it at 80 in the summer (which is like 8 months of the year) and never have to turn on the heat because it does not get cold

70-72 if cooling + ceiling fan and standing fan. I get hot very easily.

Basically don't use heat unless it's really cold but that's usually set at 68.

Is that the average or what somebody recommends you do for the sake of energy efficiency?

In Pennsylvania, everyone I know (except my roommate) sets their thermostat to roughly 70. Anywhere 68-72 is normal. My roommate, otoh, doesn't believe this and thinks the heat should be set to 60 in the cold of winter, at which point I literally refuse to come out of my room because the rest of the house is so damn cold I have to put on a coat. So, because my work involves going into people's houses, I started taking pictures of other people's thermostats to prove it.

She doesn't care. She "needs it cold to sleep" so she can in turn engorge herself in about 13 blankets to "get snuggly". Never mind that she's narcoleptic and can fall asleep no matter what. Or that she gets so hot at night that she kicks all those blankets off and (supposedly) strips naked in her sleep. Sorry, no pics.

I think it's because the thermostat in my apartment also controls the temperature for the other two apartments in the building. She can set it to whatever she wants though. When I feel too cold, I put an ice-pack on top of the lock box.

this is what i've been doing. in my last apartment my A/C only cooled one small room, so the electric bill wasn't terrible. i also didn't control the heat.

my new apartment is my first one with central heat/air, so if the bill starts getting too high i'll probably change

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
