It's getting colder, winter fuels, etc. Posted by SaabDork [Email] (#3030) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SaabDork) on Tue, 30 Nov 2010 09:39:18 In Reply to: MPGs, vibrations, and power loss, Ben, Fri, 26 Nov 2010 20:31:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
You may be the first one I've seen this year with this question but it comes up a lot. Gasoline has less energy when it's cold and your mileage goes down at least 10% or more in the winter. Not to mention northern climes usually switch to a blended "winter fuel" to reduce smog/emissions so that has an impact.
As for the vibrations could be unrelated but this is my guess as to the MPG.
