Hoooooly crap you guys .... Tom, IMO your guest are killing you ... Should be < 5 per month.
Tank type users, if you can spare the extra labor < 30 seconds :
Lite pilot only to get main flame going .... Heat water for PM shower and dishes, then turn it all off. You will get a sense of how long you need to run heater for AM shower if/if not but NO WAY pilot flame needs to burn during all this ... Total waste.
aloha,
