Gas buddy released this talking about the price drop in gas after switching. What they didn’t mention was that summer blends also have more energy and typically get higher fuel economy numbers
What I’m curious about is how much of a hit are we talking with the summer to winter mpg blends? Obviously ambient temperature has a big impact, but what about when comparing at the same ambient temperature?
If you car gets 50mpg at 60 degrees with summer blends, what will the Mpg at 60 degrees with the winter blend be?
Also will aerodynamics play a bigger roll in cold weather since the air is more dense? What eco mods can help offset the winter blend transition?
It says that winter blends heat up faster too, which I don’t know if that means your engine can get to a warmer temperature or not faster? If that’s true, that’s a benefit for hybrids
