Yep, was at 42 mpg, now struggling to maintain 38. Though less EOC due to a desire for heat. Do what you can but grin and bear it
Some cars will idle higher in colder temps for some reason. I suspect more load on the alt due to heater fan on high, and perhaps emissions (more exhaust gasses to keep the cat warm?)
