Do our car's hate winter gas?
Do our car's hate winter gas?
Ever since last week my gas mileage went down 3 mpg and I'm suspecting it's because of the oxygenated gas supplied in the winter. Anyone else have any incite on this?
Agree with the comments above... PLUS:
1.winter=cold air=more dense intake air=needs more fuel to burn (so really, your car might be making a tiny bit more power
)
2.If you drive like me, you take pretty much any opportunity you get to do a powerslide/drift in the snow

Mine is around 16 mpg, 50% hwy and 50% city, average temp 32 - 44 F degree (need heater on in the morning), using gasoline with 10% Ethanol. This is for my 20", staggered summer tires. Going to put winter tires on this weekend btw.
I would have the car checked if my car had that high gas consumption.

Really 3 mpg?! That's very high gas consumption and not normal if it is the reading from driving from full tank to 1/2 empty or full empty.

I uninstalled the Hypertech on Sat and drove 45 miles so far and computer is reading 2mpg higher now so I think the Hypertech was causing lost mpg. I recently changed the Hyptertech tune to the Stillen one since I put a Gen3 in so I wonder if that was it.
