I would fully expect that someone with a house 20x bigger than my apartment would use 20x more energy than me. That's not news to anyone.

How the heck does the number of rooms in your house have anything to do with electricity consumption? I recently moved from a 2 room apartment to a 6 room house and my electricity consumption is exactly the same. Just because I have six rooms doesn't mean I have every light turned on in all of them. Yeah, having a bigger house is going to take more natural gas so his average of $1080 a month for natural gas isn't that staggering. The electricity numbers though truly are staggering. I'd love to see what wastes of electricity he has going in that house.
