Does it take more gas to reheat my house or keep it at a constant temp all the time.
Is it cost effective to turn down my gas boiler temp @ night and while i am at work?

yes
Take it down to 55 so that it is not too bad to bring back up to normal when you get back home.

There’s a pretty good article on this here:

Bottom line is that it isn’t simple at all.
Make sure to read the comments, too. There’s good discussion on boilers there.
