Last week the lows were hovering between -20 and -5, with the highs barely reaching zero. Even while coasting, driving slow, etc. the car got terrible mileage. So, even though 40 degrees may feel warm and fuzzy to me, it likely deviates quite a bit from your normal operating temp much like -15 deviates from the usual 5-10 degree MN weather.
What I'm saying is, perhaps those MPG figures are normal for those temperatures. Sure, shoes may have something to do with it, but I doubt they'd make thaaat much difference.
