Just curious how much change in fuel economy people are observing between winter and summer months. I've got a 2.5L Mazda Skyactive engine that gets 36-38 MPG in the summer. Now that temps are hovering around the freezing point, the economy has dropped to 31-32 MPG. That's a 15% reduction due to longer warm-ups, denser cold air and winter-formulated gasoline (which has lower energy per unit). Our summers are usually in mid to high 80's and winters are right around the freezing point.
What are other folks getting? What kind of engine and what are the temperatures like in your area?
