-10 mpg!

Howdy, I wanted to share a recent experience that most people don't think about. This time of year its ugly cold through most of the US. While its like this, most cars MPG suffers for various reasons. Also some of us swap to winter tires to deal with driving in snow and slop. Which also doesn't help.

I've been pretty proud of getting 30% above EPA in my old van in 2015. But this winter I REALLY noticed when all of the above added up to my losing 10 MPG. Or 2 MPG worse than my van's EPA rating.
