Yesterday, I had 58.7 MPG on my MFD. After this morning's commute: 56.3. Click the image to open in full size.



Granted, I'm only about 100 miles into my tank and have time to bring it back up, but this stinks and I am not looking forward to the trip home.

In Michigan, the last snowflake of the season thought, in April, is called wishful thinking Our weather is pretty close to yours and the car's display said this morning that it was 39 as I recall. I'm barely over 56 myself.

We're supposed to have temps in the 30s and low 40s the next couple of mornings...pulled the extension cord for the EBH out again this morning.

And my tank started off sucky after 4 <1/4 mile drives (don't ask--didn't have a choice). I've crept back up to almost 55 but am worried what the lower temps are going to do to me. And I had 65mpg (calculated, 60mpg on screen and I topped off!) last tank. Argh!

heh, well, in your case, you'd have to timestamp it so that you knew when the last snowflake of the winter fell and when the first snowflake of spring fell :P

I'm disappointed-I still have yet to see the snowflake. Yes I know living in temperate Southern California it's highly unlikely that I'll see the 'snowflake'. I was so excited on a recent trip to the mountains, driving around in 12-35 degree weather for a week, that I was finally going to see this snowflake. And yet, no snowflake. I would sit in the parking lot, searching the dash display for anything that mildly resembled a snowflake while outside, snow began piling up on my car. And still no snowflake.

We are also in that in between time, not summer, not spring, not winter, 34 this am 77 this pm. Do I zip up the radiator blocker or leave it unzipped? "Spring messes me up the most"

That is odd because when I went to Paso Robles it was 34 and the "snowflake" came to me...I was so excited and my friends that were with me thought I had lost my mind. Course, most days (actually all other days..) no snowflake. Having grown up in Vermont, no snow is fine with me!
