What kind of mileage do you guys get in the dead of winter? I usually warm my car for 2 mins before driving off and the car is usually parked outside...
I am currently getting only 15 mpg (or 420KM off a tank = 261mile)!!!
Temp has been -4F ( -20C) to -22F(-30C)...
what do you guys get?

I get about ~230-260 in Miami, Fl temps... Mostly city driving with mostly conservative driving.

Mine is completely city driving as well...probably short bursts on the higway for 4-5 KM ( 2-3 miles)

Hmm, I think I'm almost at 200 miles with less then 1/4 tank. I hate winter.

I go from 315-340 on a tank to 280-310 on a tank -that's a 10% drop...not trivial.
Here in the Portland, OR area it's not only the weather but the fact that we're forced to use oxygenated fuels (meaning, up to 10% ethanol mix) in from November to the end of Feb...that alone kills mileage by 3-5%

What kind of oil are you running? if you are running 5w 30 you might get better gas milage becuase the oil is not as thick as 10w 30

Actually my MPG went up after I did the Tranny flush... form 21 to 24.. highway.... still sucks but it is better......

I am at exactly 201.3 this morning and just got under a quarter tank on my ride to work. This is by far the worst milage I have ever gotten, but this is also the coldest weather I've driven the max in. It was 9 degrees at 10:00 this morning

Up here in Quebec we are having a pretty cold winter, -15 -20 celcius for the past 2-3 weeks. I still get 575-600KM from a tank, no problems. (+- 11-12L/100KM, 18-21MPG) Mostly highway driving, 30 minutes to 1 hour. In the summer, highway driving, I can get better than 10L/100KM. If I have fun it never gets worse than 11-12L/100. (and that is with A LOT of fun!)

here in jersey the lowest ive seen was 9F. i think using my heated seats and wheel and mirrors plus full blast on heat eats gas like crazy, does anyone else notice that?
i get about 21 mpg on the hwy/city mostly hwy going about 75-80. yeah winter does bring crappy gas milage.

man its been 5~20 degrees for lows here lately and my fregginf bpipe res is rattling againt the heat shield under throtle during warm up

Once car is warmed up I haven't noticed a decrease in mileage....getting high 300's per tank

300 per tank, and I leave my car idleing for around 20 min every day after work to have a nice warm ride back home in traffic. In summer I'm around 360-450 miles on a tank depending on how heavy my foot is, and where I'm driving. Constant 70MPH has yield me as high as 31MPG on the highway last September when I was driving down to St Louis, MO. With winter around I get about 260 miles out of 12 gallons of gas that I put in it- full tank makes the car slower :P

well with about half the tank gone, I made about 100 miles...that's not good...some ripping was involved.

WOW polak!!!
100 miles and your at half a tank, thats really bad. mine is at about 75 miles per 1/4 tank and i tend to have a pretty heavy foot. Your MPG is insanely low!

I can easily get 300+ miles even in the wintertime. That east coast gas must be really jacked!

I can probably speak for driving in cold weather as well as anyone. All city driving in the extreme cold, my max will get as low as about 12-13 USMPG. On the other end of the spectrum, in nice summer conditions all highway driving I can get over 30 USMPG and have on one occasion gotten over 800km (500 miles) on one tank. Quite a range of extremes.

Winter gas has additives to prevent freezing and that eats your mileage....
