    Here in DC we could easily be in the 90's all May but this year we've been in the 50's. This is probably the last day I have the gas home heat on, and still wearing my winter hat and gloves sometimes for jogs and biking. Going up to 90 for Memorial Day, but I don't recall such a cool May before. Measured 33F on the ground last week at night.

    I was wondering if there is still winter gaso in the system, perhaps accounting for some of the lower than average fill-up volumes we've being hearing about on PriusChat. Apparently yes per Gas Buddy:

    I have a theory that higher vapor pressure in the gaso tank is what causes the pump to click off early.

    Cold weather in the lower 48 means warmer weather went to the Arctic to melt or less freeze the ice.

    Their food supply is further away from shore and killer whales are roaming where before the ice was a hazard.
