Darrell over there with the SentraSE-R tag is often right, man. But you can do more mitigating than just the logging. Watch your tire pressure, which will tend to drop in the winter, obviously. Try as much as possible to avoid night driving (why do I think I just made you laugh twice?). It's gonna be dark in Alberta soon. But don't you think you could adapt more? Your coming problem is about denser, colder air and shorter daylight. A block heater, that aero mod maybe you have put off, some LED brakelights... I forget, are you running a WAI?

I am also hoping that LOG ing will keep me higher on the mpg scale than in priviuse "real" winters[an other little fanticy...], we shall see. I should get two or three more refuels before w____.which should get me into the gas car 90 day top Ten mpg for a week or so before reallity hits home.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
