Default Lost Electricity -2

Well, this won't explain your bill or anything, but if you have a 20%
reduction in the number of days with electricity, to get the monthly total
to come out the same you would need to use 25% more (not 20% more) each day
you do have electricity. Just a quirk of the math. (80% * 125% = 100%)

Yeah, my math seemed to simple and reasonable. Thanks for the
correction. I knew if I was wrong some faithful usenetter would set me
straight. ;-)

Which strengthens my argument.
