Yes. I drove my wife's car to Las Vegas from the Bay Area last month, and gassed up when we got there. That night, we drove to another part of town to see a show. The next day, I drove home. The night I drove to the casino, I put 13 miles on the car at 17 mpg. It took me the next 450 miles to bring my mileage up over 40 mpg the next day, because I'd used nearly a full gallon to go 13 miles on a cold engine in city conditions.
