To let a frige run constantly from bad door seals is dumb , an old frige
pulling 500 watts would cost me 50$ a month, a new highly efficient
frige can cost only 4-7$ a month. New refrigerators, ones made after
2003 are 60 -65% more efficient than 20-25yr old units.

Now I'm confused. By 60 to 65% more efficient, do you mean that the
new ones use 40 to 35% of the electricity of the 20-25 year old ones?

If so, how would your bill go down from 50$ to 7-4$ dollars? Isn't
that 86 to 92 percent more efficient?

Use an amp
meter to confirm it to yourself. Do you also leave your doors and
windows open with heat or AC on. That old junker is waisting maybe 500$
a year.

Here too. If the old one costs 600 dollars a year to run, if the new
one saves 500 dollars a year, wouldn't it have to be 83.33333% more
efficient?
