Default Winter Gas already?
Hey, Does anyone know if the gas stations around here switched to Winter Gas? *cough Al*

I've lost about 2-3 mpg and wanted to blame winter gas than my lead foot.

my mpg has been going up, 2 weekends ago I hit 30(hwy) and this past weekend I hit 28mpg (had a spirited drive, and little bit of city driving).
I usually get about 24-26mpg (mix of city driving and hwy)

here a pic from my last fill-up 292.7 , actually had about 296.x but forgot to reset the trip when I left the gas station on friday!

Fuel economy goes down in general during the colder months due to a reduction in efficiency.

Agreed, Zo. As soon as I brought my S2K to Dallas, I noticed an immediate increase in fuel economy.

I know that much, but i wasn't sure when the switch over takes place.

Trying to figure out where my missing MPG's are going....
