a little Off Topic..Household Propane Consumption

Just got my propane bill for this month, keep in mind the only appliance that I have that runs on propane is the boiler, which is brand new. I'm in a rental unit 3 bedroom 1 bath around 1150 sq feet..older house but it has been remodeled. I'm on a keep fill program and they just filled the tank to the tune of $220. Last month I paid $144. This cycle (34 days) They put 177.2 gallons of propane in the tank. This over 34 days equals 5.211 gallons of propane a day!
Is this normal consumption? Thermostat is set at 70 and appears to be working properly. Keep in mind this is Michigan winter and temps were around 10-30F during those days. I'm just curious because I have never dealt with propane before and dont know what to expect. I'm going to the landlord with my bill tomorrow to see what he thinks, was just wondering if anybody had some good ammo for me to use as I am sure he will not want to even check anything. Unsure of BTUs or anything, I've only been down in the crawlspace once and its a relatively small sized unit...maybe half hte size of a normal washing machine.
