Can distance ever be negative?
No. Distance is never negative, and total distance travelled doesn't decrease during a trip. The distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A. Displacement, on the other hand, can be negative, and can decrease during a trip. The displacement from A to B is the same magnitude, but opposite sign, as the displacement from B to A. An example would be if you went from your home to a friend's house 1 mile to the east. After you reach your friend's house, you have travelled a distance of 1 mile and your displacement from your starting position is 1 mile. When you come back home from your friends house, you travel a distance of 1 more mile. Your total distance travelled is now 2 miles, but your displacement from your starting location is zero (because you are back where you started.)
How do you calculate the difference in propane use when the thermostat is set at 70 degrees vs 63 degrees assuming external temperatures are the same?
That depends on how well insulated the house is, and on what the external temperature actually is. -- Raising the thermostat some number of degrees will raise the fuel cost more with poor insulation than it will with good insulation. -- Raising the thermostat some number of degrees will raise the fuel cost more if the external temperature is -10° than it will if the external temperature is zero.

What does your body maintain though negative feedback?
Your body maintains homeostasis through negative feedback. This somewhat like using a thermostat to maintain a narrow range of temperature in the house.
Why does the thermostat keeps turning on and off?
Because that is its job! A thermostat is a device that measures the temperature of a given space or volume, and turns heating / cooling devices on and off accordingly. The thermostat in your house is designed to turn the heating off when the house is warm and turn it on when the house is cold. The thermostat in your car turns the radiator fan on when the oil / water temperature increases to a level that could be damaging to the engine (if you are stuck in traffic for example)

No, not the battery. But anything that has a diode, transistor or is in any other way dependent on polarity may be fried... including your alternator.
How is your endocrine system like the thermostat in your house?
The negative feedback system. It works much the way a thermostat works. When the temperature in a room drops below a set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn on. Once the furnace has raised the temp in the room to the set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to shut off. It will continue to stay off until the thermostat signals that the temp has dropped again.
What common household process if often compared to the way the endocrine system maintains homeostasis?
The common household process that is often compared to the way the endocrine system maintains homeostasis is a furnace thermostat on the wall of a house. In a house a thermostat is set at a specific temperature. When the temperature in the house falls below this designated temperature, the thermostat is triggered and signals the furnace to turn on and begin heating the house. Once the temperature of the house is above the designated temperature, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn off. This process is called negative feedback. The endocrine also works in a negative feedback system to maintain homeostasis. An example of negative feedback in the endocrine system is the regulation of calcium levels. Parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates the blood calcium levels. If there is a decrease in blood calcium the parathyroid glands will secrete more PTH. Then the PTH stimulates the release of calcium from the bones into the bloodstream. If blood calcium levels increase too much, the parathyroid glands will reduce their production of PTH and less calcium will be released from the bones.
