MPG Dropping

[david_827]

my gas mileage drops in the winter as well, but not to that extent. I get about 33-35 MPG in the summer (ALL CITY DRIVING) and 30-33 mpg in the winter.

I love how everyone latches onto the winter gas issue, without really absorbing the details of the post.

As stated by the OP, who appears to be another 1 post wonder who hasn't come back:

He has gone through 3 winter cycles without observing a notable drop in f/e. Like myself, who has noted a drop (8%) unrelated to winter in the past 12 months, the OP is now questioning his observations. Kaotic at least has extended possible causes to things other than winter gas.

for you, i would see what has changed in the past year. And then recheck everything it could be, like tire pressure, fluids are too dirty, etc.

actually that would work for everyone too.

my mileage has dropped dramatically, but for me it was idling a ton. i don't really care because it will go back up when i drive, and i generally only fill up twice a month.
