MANY folks don't. They're
as far from the real facts as
this photo in an amusement

Proof? In nationwide sur
vey, 42%o of the people sharply
Overestimated the amount Of
their last electric bill. $500
didn't realize that rates had
been reduced in the last fifteen
years and $3.50 didn't realize
how much!
Actually, the average Amer
