Using what command line? Have you read g_traj -h about -ot?

There are many things that affect the fine details here, including 
GROMACS version, your integrator, thermostat and the frequency of energy 
computation and output vs velocity output. So with the available 
information there's nothing to say. Do check out chapter 3 of the manual 
for discussion of details here.
