UKabitenyo Ako Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I notice the past few months that from the usual 34 MPG showing on my dash board it now shows around 27-29 MPG only. I just had a full tank refill yesterday around 73 liters and it shows only 464 average miles from the usual 500+ something? Anybody here experience the same thing?

I am sure the extremely cold temperatures affect gas mileage, regardless of make or model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure the extremely cold temperatures affect gas mileage, regardless of make or model. Hawaii, The cold is the #1 killer of fuel mileage. That cold air your engine breathes in is much colder than the summer of course, which means the intake and combustion is different down to a molecular level. It's pretty interesting and enlightening if you ever felt like doing some research into it. I like your handle, folks in Hawaii certainly don't have this problem lol. :shades: jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Got something to do with the air being more dense, thus needing more fuel to maintain the 15:1 combustion ratio. I'm not a scientist, could be wrong, but thats just my common sense. And I'm an aspiring poet. Edited January 24, 2014 by jkeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
