You didn't say how cold it was when you used that much propane, but it still sounds a little high. I found that insulating the furnace plenum helped get more heat into the living area, furnace ran less and much quieter. Electric heaters are great but they don't heat the pipes or holding tanks so if it is below freezing run the furnace along with a heater. This will cut your propane use down and also give more even heat. Doing this I use about 20 lbs over a four day weekend. (between 30 and 40 degrees) I'm not full time so I can live with that.
