When (if they do) does MD swtich over to "winter gas"? Ive noticed about 1.5-2mpg drop the last month myself. And I check my air pressure every day, and my PVC is fine.

Winter blend fuel, I'm assuming. I seem to remember a discussion about that last year....
I have noticed tho, at the height of the price rise, my truck was pinging and knocking, had to switch up to a higher grade fuel. Now the pings are gone.... I think they were giving us under-rated fuel.

Besides, the big 4x4, quad cab truck and the big Harley ooze enough testosterone to fill a tanker. :evil:
Winter Blend gas would be my guess.....

Higher level of alcohol in the gasoline. Which is why prices are lower as well. I've lost 1.5 - 2.0 mpg.

Cold air needs more fuel.
Cold air needs more fuel.
:yeahthat: Cold temps reduce your MPG performance. Nothing to worry about.
