An unexpected benefit of winter...

[AbsolutHank]

great MPGs!

Seriously though, it's been such a mild winter here in Maryland, I've only missed 2 weeks of driving so far due to a little salt they laid down for 2" of snow. But, with the cold temps, I've been taking it easy and driving fairly benign. The last fill up netted 22MPG...up from my usual 14-16MPG.

What's the highest you've seen with your cars?

Wow 22MPG? My car has gotten a whopping 0 MPG since early December. I purposely blocked it in the garage so I wouldn't be tempted to take it out.

I did bring home my 1970 Mustang from storage yesterday though so I can begin restoring it this spring. It was my first car.

Kudos on driving your car though, that's fantastic.

Ryan, it was good seeing you and your car today. I can't say enough about your car man......what a nice coupe you have and thanks for all of your help.

Avoided temptation to take mine off the lift this weekend. Need to put the cover on to further reduce the urge to take the 06 Coupe for a drive.

Is it April yet?

Thanks Mike! I've got a long way to go to catch up to your car, but it's fun trying to

Best so far on my 99 is 16 mpg. Worst was 8 mpg. Thinking about taking it to south Carolina this march for vacation. Maybe the mpg would be better on a long road trip.

I went skied just 2 days ago just driving a couple hours north,
You can bet i'll be taking the snake to work tomorrow as is going to be upper 50's & sunny,
and plan on doing night skiing on a weeknight this week

This winter is like the best of both worlds for me!!!

I havnt measured my Viper's MPG in a long time, ...well ever since i determined that i couldn't touch 20 no matter how i drove.
However, i have seen a Decrease in my new subaru's mpg this winter that i attributed to the "winter" gas. Could anyone comment on that? as i have never researched the topic but have just heard that the "winter blend" gas is not as efficient.

I managed 24MPG on two consecutive tanks driving it home from Oklahoma (where I bought it) a few weeks ago. I can assure you I will likely never see those kind of numbers again now that I'm getting used to it.

Dang Ryan, I'm happy if I get 15 mpg any time of the year! Then again, I drive like a maniac.

Right now I'm getting exactly ZERO smiles per gallon as my Viper is in hibernation.
