Wow, you guys have it really rough. Here in Oklahoma we just had 75 degrees Fahrenheit weather, and the rest of the week we will be above 0 degrees Celsius (except for Monday, ugh).

The previous owner of my car said that he got better gas mileage during the Winter, which I find hard to believe. However, I am actually starting to see my numbers go up, which I am really surprised about. Of course, this is with Oklahoma's Winter, which hardly gets cold at all. I think it might be because when the engine is cold it doesn't engine brake like it does when it is warm, so I can coast for a very long time while staying in gear. By the end of this week or next week I will be able to post results of the tank, and that should include a 180 mile (289 kilometer) trip, which will probably boost my MPG up to 40+.
