MPG drop after reaching 100,000 miles

I wore a blue suit today.

Pics or it never happened.

Your not one of those guys that thinks saying a thing true makes it so, are you?

Oh no. I was just saying that pics thing ... for a friend.

To everyone who posted about the temperature being the cause, that is entirely possible, but I don't recall seeing this drop in previous winters. To those concerned with blue suits and snow correlation, thank you for affirming my belief that a forum will always be hijacked

In an era of planned obsolescence in cell phones and subscriptions to heated seats in cars, I just wanted to check in with some trusted fellow consumers to see what their experience has been.

The blue suits thing was to point out correlation does not mean causation.

My experience is consistant with most other folks, namely that more fuel is needed in winter. With a partial (3/4) grill block it is easier for the engine to warm up. Cold engines guzzle fuel. The eco-modder forum (see post 2) has more ideas how to keep consumption down.

Since your fuel consumption is higher recently than in previous winters, I would suggest having a good look at the engine, particularly to check if maintenance is up to date, the air-flow sensor clean, etc, etc.
