Are you using a lot of hot water? $280 seems high! I'm single and my bill is $98 this month. I also keep t-stat in the 60s: 60 when not home during the weekdays, 65-67 from 5-10p, 60 overnight. Weekends I'll set it around 63-65 when I'm home during the day.

Edit: there is also the option of "balanced billing" but I'm not sure if it works out in the end... might end up paying more somehow. I don't trust how they calculate the average cost lol and I like the idea of paying <$30 for heat in the spring/summer months

No actually. I'm not home most of the day. Come back from work, eat, watch TV and sleep. Even work some weekends. 😶

Seems reasonable… I’m very curious about conflicting reports in this thread. I have the same living space as you, more or less similar tstat settings, and my bill is less than half of yours? Very odd.
