After I read your post I went and checked my usage..and its definitely up with my first full month with the TP2 (vs my dearly departed Apache). But I am safe in attributing it to two reasons:

1. I am doing a lot of tethering at work since my corporate provided internet conenction is heavily logged and restricted.

-and-

2. I just really like using this phone so much more than the Apache that I find I am always doing 'stuff' on it that requires the data connection.

But I must say that even with all the tethering and other work, my usage for the month of October was just 2GB. I think I would have to really work to get to the 8GB you have supposedly consumed.
