well, I have lost between 5-10 kms per fuel bar since this -35C has hit here.

Since it got below 0 my milage dropped by 2mpg. Winter fuel blends, longer warm-up, snow packed roads are all factors.

i guess im losing the right amount.. i figured 50 km on a tank for it seems to be more..hmmm.

Summer my Yaris will get as high as 700kms per tank.
Lately i'm lucky to get 500kms before i need to fill up.
All cars get poorer mpg in winter just be thankfull you dont have to fill up a Chevy 350 4X4 Duelly thats also getting 20% poorer mpg.

Between the cold weather and my wife driving the car a lot this tank, I got my first sub 40 mpg tank in seven months.
