that is very possible as the range is 100-127v but i think the average that was found in a massive nationwide survey a while back was 110v

it depends on teh electric company
chances are itll be 120
mine was 122.3 v
older houses/more rural areas get 110 because they are not in teh city
where majority of the power is being ran to..
over a distanve electricity loses voltage
so it has to be steped up every so often if its not high enough
thats why when tehy ruun transformer lines thro teh desert at very high voltage
im talkin like 40,000-80,000 volts
