Gas mileage for winter 2014-2015 is 30.04 MPG. That's 4.7% better than my winter 2013-2014 mileage of 28.68 MPG. Both winters were colder than average for this area, and had more than the fair share of headwinds. Both winters were noticeably colder than the several previous winters.

Last summer's mileage was 4.5% better than the average mileage for the two previous summers.

I credit the better feedback from the vacuum gauge, as compared to a ScanGauge, with at least a 4% improvement in gas mileage.
