This is a common winter observation and I'm at a loss to understand why even given the information in Alex's post. Remarkably, Alex's info would potentially argue against a mpg hit when using winter gas as others on the board have claimed higher mpg's when using 93 vs. 89 and 87.
So what gives? Is it a simple matter that the engine takes longer to warm up and is therefore running "richer" for a longer period of time?
Finally, there has to be a tie between increased fuel consumption associated with winter gas and changes in octane . . . insights anyone?
