Wow, it took a while to find this thread, but I wanted to find an existing one vs. starting a new one if possible. I went out to the next town today and it was raining pretty constantly (fortunately, not too common here). And while I was accustomed to my mileage increasing and increasing as the miles ticked off, I was having a helluva time getting the darned "today" average on the ScanGauge up to 21.
But the road was pretty wet, and although I instinctively tried to stay out of as much of the standing water as I could, I know I was driving mostly through water, anyway. So my question is: how much will a wet road cut your mileage? I would say it was at least "several" MPG for me ..... 21-ish vs. the 26-ish I'd grown accustomed to. I had a passenger this time too, so a couple hundred pounds more weight. Dunno if that effected it other than accelerating & going up hill. ???
