I don't know how you get your figures, but the average North American
uses some 40 THOUSAND US gallons of hot water yearly.

My neighbour used to tell me that only mucky people have baths...

LOL. I accept that North Americans are much more wasteful of water - heated
or not - than Europeans, but a difference of $400+ to £20 for the cost of
heating that water just doesn't make sense.
