my USD 9,- OBD bluetooth scanner arrived and I've checked the coolant and intake temperatures. With outside temp of 17 C (62 F), it goes up to 95C (203 F) after my 15 minutes drive. The intake went up to 27 C (81 F). Now, I am wondering whether I've closed too much of the front grille. My last fill up showed only 43.8 MPG, although the trip MID were always higher than this average.
I am bit worried, since I had hoped to stay around 45 MPG also during winter and now this goal seems already out of reach in fall...
What are your thoughts?
