Wow, winter sucks: 71 mpg spring vs. 54 mpg winter in the Firefly/Metro, same trip

It takes a lot of miles to get the transmission gear oil and cv joints warmed up. On a recent trip of mine, it took approximately 80-100 miles (55mph) to get the trans. up to a decent temp. and it was only in the low to mid 20's. Driving leisurely at that temperature like you did will even take longer.

Which reminds me I need to update my fuel log.
(it's not good either)
