I wonder if the fuel maps in the automatics are different than the manual cars, I also have a full grill block and any time when the temp dips to below 20*F it seems to really kill my MPG. (my 20% drop in the winter as opposed to your 7%)

The water temp is still staying in the 184-188 range, but it seems at any given RPM I'm sucking more gas, the only difference I can attribute this to is the intake air temp

anyone else have any thoughts???
