My thermostat has the full F resolution, it doesn't skip any digits or do anything weird with the setpoints as you describe. I think your is doing it because it was likely not designed with us in mind, the US is a bit lonely when it comes to using Fahrenheit. One thing I did just realize though is that my -1/+2 temp range that my thermostat uses could be effectively increased in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. It is sunny and 49 degrees F right now here so my furnace probably won't run until early morning so I'll have to play with it then.

Edit: Interesting, removing the thermostat and flipping the switch to celcius has no effect. I suppose I'll have to pull the batteries to get the thermostat to recognize that I changed the setting. I'll wait until month-end so I can accurately record the energy data for the month before wiping it.
