Yeah, I actually re-worked my schedule so I don't have to work until 11 to 12pm which means faster warmups, warmer ambient temps and less maniacs trying to race to their morning start times. When I can drive 55-60mph in the far right on a 65mph speed limit highway is a good day.

My first January last tank was horrible (~36mpg), but I did better with my last tank (~43 mpg). Nowadays, starting later is a good thing especially with fog coming back to California. Nothing worse than being part of the news and the latest pileup or zinger.
