Why....

[Baja28]

...did my gas mileage drop from 29 to 26 the last 5 fill ups??

2007 Camry, 4 cyl. 58K miles.

Still driving the same, new air filters, new tires, same gas station.

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.

I noticed mine dropped 2-3mpg as well.

So did mine!

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.

A Camry? All this time I thought you were a dude!

How does owning a high quality, top rated car make anyone less of a man?

Besides, the big 4x4, quad cab truck and the big Harley ooze enough testosterone to fill a tanker.

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.

Cold temps reduce your MPG performance. Nothing to worry about.
