Mine showed - 25 celsius this morning in Ottawa, Canada...

.....which is about - 14 farenheit...

It felt like i was driving on wheels made of rock like the Flinstones car. I could barely hit the gas without spinning all over the place. The pavement was dry but very slippery.

10 degrees here in new jersey. Once I let the car idle and warm up for like 5 minutes, it drives amazing. It feels faster and more responsive.

Sounds like your MAF is blown, Dealer should replace under TSB.

I've never seen that light come on on my dash! Not a good thing to do
especially in winter to let fuel level drop that low. Though gasoline has no water in it, condensation in the tank WILL freeze. I rarely let it get below 1/2. But i guess my car does have low level indicator, never seen it though.

Glad somebody else caught that. In temps that cold you should definately keep a good amount of gas in the car. It prevents moisture and gas line freezing.

Chi town heat wave 28 and it feels warm.
Cold weather a 1/4 tank should be your low limit IMHO.
$1.77 for prem but this area always blows for fuel prices.

It's been single digits and teens here in Michigan since the new year, but considering where I moved from, I'm running around in a tee shirt and pullover. Back in Minnesota my max survived the extremes...one day the windchill reached nearly 100 below zero Fahrenheit and later that summer the temp reached 104 above zero Fahrenheit. Good ol' Maxima.
