g_energy should have printed an energy.xvg file that contains values printed 
every nstenergy steps.  It will not necessarily agree exactly with the average 
printed by g_energy, since the .edr file is accurate over all MD steps but the 
.xvg file contains data saved at only the requested output frequency.  So unless 
you set nstenergy = 1, you will not get density values over every step.
