Just decided I would share my findings and see what everyone else experiences with winter as far as their gas mileage. I have seen about a 2 mpg drop since it became winter. I figure this is due to the colder weather/engine not warming up as fast, and the crappy winter blend gas they are probably giving us now. Also, it seems as if I get about 1.5mpg better when I use 85 octane 100% pure gasoline, as opposed to 88 octane with 10% ethanol added. FWIW I guess...
Edit: I am in no way shape or form complaining about anything. I will take low to mid 20s any day compared to the 12mpg my old rig got ALL THE TIME.
Just wanted to clear that up... carry on.
