Baltimore Gas and Electric claims: For every degree you raise your thermostat setting above 72 degrees F, you'll save 5-7% on your cooling costs.Here's a better tip from Keith:
Turn off your air conditioner and open the windows, especially now that outside temperatures are comfortable. You'll pay nothing for cooling costs. Also, check out some of the benefits of fresh air from MSN.I just opened the windows here in Atlanta, and it feels great.

Good point! I also think we've become so reliable on our air conditioners (in the car too!) that we don't remember how great a nice breeze feels coming in the window at night.
