Well, this post wasn't just about my water heater, it was about getting the word out about how much gas those pilot lights use.

My water heater is pretty old and I think when I replace it I'm going to go with a high efficiency natural gas boiler in its place since I plan to heat more of my house with hydronically heated floors in the future (just the sunroom is hydronically heated atm). This is one reason I can't just use the pilot light heating method. I do need the burner to kick in to keep up with the heating requirements.
