Cold weather & cold fuel = lower MPG
|
gotya i knew there had to be some other variable that is causing a loss of somewhere around 5 mpg.

Blame Reformulated fuel...cold air and cold fuel makes for more power( a racers battle forever) a heavy foot makes it less.
BUT : extended idlying for warm-ups , different driving styles for bad weather..trying to do burnouts in the snow....running the heater while parking( those darn kids again-snicker).You know..fun stuff,that kills milage! |
Winter blend fuel.

Yep Mine Dropped about 4-6mpg. Granted i have been letting the Car warm up for about 10min's before and after work. Plus it has been really cold here not to mention snow every other day.
