> change the temprature
How much are people actually changing the temperature? I have a temp for the furnace (68F), and a temp for the A/C (73F). I almost never adjust it.

Almost no home heats completely evenly and you will have some rooms that are warmer than others, especially when the air is on. (Good HVAC setup can mitigate some but not all).
So for example, I live in a 4,000 sqft home, and the kitchen is far and away the hottest room in the house, especially when it is in use. So when I have guests over I will tend to turn the overall heat down, and leave the gas logs on in the den to keep guests cozy while I cook.
Just an example, but I am sure there are many situations like it out there.
In some cases, a fair bit.
On the other hand and friend and I did a back of the envelope calculation and worked out he could manually change the temperature in his house for about 100 years and still spend less time than he had already spent working on his somewhat homebrew solution (this was a while ago).
