I noticed that. If you've been at your residence for less than a
year, the usage numbers that Edison provides are bogus as well. A
couple times, they indicated that yes, you've been there less than a
year, no statistics are available, etc. and a couple times, ludicrous
usage numbers are listed, which I'm pretty sure aren't from the
previous tenant.
For what it's worth...
