Today it was so cold outside! Around -20°C. Even after 3 hours of EBH my c°WT only showed 27°C before I started the engine. After starting it (with the 12v starter...), the c°WT dropped around ~20°C in like 5 seconds.
The car still shifted really well and the clutch was perfect .

On the returning trip, c°WT showed -21°C (EBH not plugged when I'm at work...) and I let the car Idle for 20 secs. Usually the rpms starts to lower at this point and I'm ready to go. But this time the rpm just didn't drop. So I let it idle for 15 more sec. Nothing. I decided to go after 35 secs but after backing from the parking spot, I put it in 1st and I tried to declutch and go but the car stalled instantly even if I was giving some fuel to help. Do I have to let it idle more to let the rpm drops when its cold like that or I may have a problem?

Trip A (Tank average) shows 79.1 mpg 502.1 mi. and I'm at 8/20 bars on the fuel gauge. Last time I filled was in september and I think I will fillup in febuary. Last fill is 90+ day so I'm no more displayed on team Honda and top 10 hybrids. It will take a long time before I update my fuel log .
