I just had my worst tank since last June.

I mostly did in-town driving, in the snow. I don't even turn on the car while I scrape snow and ice!

However, snow leads to way too much wheelspin, which is racking up miles and burning fuel. I think that's my biggest problem, and living in one of the snowier regions of New York really isn't helping. To add insult to injury, the secondary roads I EOC on during my commute are extremely low-traffic, so tend to remain iced over (leading me to avoid them).

I'm not looking for advice, just venting. Winter gas, cold weather, and snow have cost me 5mpg (overall)! My 90-day average is going to drop off a cliff soon, as my really good tanks from late august/early september stop being figured in.

Oh well, at least I know I can still beat the combined EPA fuel consumption numbers by several mpg in sub-optimal conditions.
