We've had a bit over 2 feet of snow so far... both cars are completely buried, so I'm driving the Ranger. Interestingly enough, even though I drove a good 40 miles in snow, all in 4WD and some with chains, and the rest of the tank in heavy rain, I averaged 18.7 mpg. Previously, I averaged 15 mpg, and the absolute best tank was 16.5. I recently had the badly slipping transmission rebuilt, so maybe it was sapping all that extra energy. (It seemed to have more, ahem, pickup, after the rebuild as well.)
