I do in Chattanooga..

My old 199x-ish Kenmore was replaced by a 2 compressor Samsung
(seperate compressor for freezer and fridge) and I saw a $20-30 a month 
drop in my power bill. And my freezer starts at exactly -4 degrees,a
my fridge is exactly 38 degrees, food stays fresh longer..
I probably paid for the new fridge in one year, maybe 18 months.
