Colder temperatures and cold-weather fuel are here. We've been having overnight lows in the 20's and 30's in northern Arizona. My last two fills in my Mustang barely broke 32 MPG.
When the snow hits, I won't be able to drive my Mustang to work . Work is for people who don't know how to ski . This ski season, I hope to break last season's record of 80 days. My F-150 only averages in the high teens, but I only drive it about 7K miles/year. It's a sacrifice I'm more than willing to make.
