I wonder where all that extra gas is going? :/

--Winston -- Hopes this isn't an elevating experience.

The tank, flue or insulation are deteriorating???

At that rate? I don't think so.
0.6 therm is an additional 60,000 BTUh of energy *per day*.

My 40 gallon water heater very rarely comes on because it's
just SWMBO and me in the house. I turned off the gas to the
space heater a couple months ago.

The mystery remains....
