I can pull true numbers later, but it's highly likely this year was more than last year. We did some insulation, finally a winter with all new windows, boiler maintenance was done for the first time since we moved it, but this winter was the coldest winter I remember in a long time.
I'm looking at a few bills now online (we have things broken out better on a spreadsheet) Looks like things are actually on par. I'll just use averages since my monthly bills range from 27 days to 34 days.
Dec 2007 - 24.6 kWh/day, 4.9 Therms/day, Avg Temp: 38F
Dec 2008 - 25.4 kWh/day (more), 4.1 Thems/day (less), Avg Temp: 39F
Jan 2008 - 21.2 kWh/day, 5.5 Therms/day, Avg Temp: 36F
Jan 2009 - 21.5 kWh/day (more), 5.8 Therms/day (more), Avg Temp: 30F (Cold!)
Feb 2008 - 19.6 kWh/day, 5.3 Therms/day, Avg Temp: 37F
Feb 2009 - 17.5 kWh/day (less), 5.0 Therms/day (less), Avg Temp: 37F
So for 3 months of data over 2 years, I have 1/2 the areas I used more, 1/2 the areas I used less.
Our bill have a $200 range on them. This past month was $132.62. In Jan it was $338.17.
