Honestly, the only "setting" we use is "are you cold?" Plus, the house has very un-even heating so setting it on 72 means *the room the themostat is in* gets to 72, but that's almost useless, since all the other rooms are different temperatures.
This year we are trying to use the woodburning stove more and the heat less. The stove is in the living room and that's about all it will heat, but we spend most of our time there anyway when we're home, that's where the computer is. We moved the snake into the living room and the bird into the next warmest room and the guinea pig and the cats have fur, so they can deal. And of course we'll be putting up plastic on the windows soon and such. So far I think the heat has been on a lot less than this time last year, we'll see how things work out when January hits.
