Is there anywhere near the house where he could hide Jeff? One of my cats got out once (totally an indoor kitty) and she was so scared she hid on the porch inside a cabinet. It took hours to find her.
Definitely check around your property; cats can get into crazy places that you would not expect. And check with the neighbors. You might also call any local animal shelters and/or vet clinics. It's always scary to have one of the kids away from home. Good luck finding him

Ok... I have my first data point. My AC used 7.72 kWh in a 24 hour period to keep pretty much my whole house at 72 degrees in ~90 degree weather. According to my electric bill, I used 132 kWh last month and was charged $27.28. It's broken up into a million separate charges, but to get a ballpark cost per kWh, I just divided the total cost by kWh and came up with ~21 cents a kWh. It cost me $1.62 to cool the house for the day. If I assumed it's going to be 90+ degrees every day, it'd cost me an additional $48.64 to run the thing like that the whole month.





Perhaps it was a shed in the shade?
