They came out today and replaced our electric meter. My wife said the tech told her that the meter did appear to be worn out internally so he thinks I may be right that it wasn't recording properly. He said it takes about 2 weeks for them to do the analysis and he gave us a number to call to get a report.
So now we just have to wait a couple of weeks and then see what they say. Hopefully, they'll confirm a discrepancy and we'll get some money back. I'll update when I know.
The moral of the story is that if something just doesn't seem right, don't be afraid to question it. And the other moral is to pay attention. Review bills. Look for discrepancies or unfamiliar charges and look into them when they occur.

I too had a odd experience with my meter was told there was "nothing wrong with it and they are accurate then just stop without any problems"
I almost laughed at this but statement some person put in writing killed their argument and they backed off collection of a one month 2500 bill for a single family home.
It sounds as if your utility is more realistic then mine.
