She never said she was from a cold climate like PA, her avatar has a nice sunny picture with a horse.
it doesn't matter - cold weather prep tactics work great whether you're in warm winters or super cold areas. just sayin' ... .
Grille blocking works wonders. Check out our Fuelly tanks from this winter. This MN winter was the coldest in almost 100 years and we still averaged over 40 MPG for the winter tanks. With the warmer weather we should start seeing tanks of 50+ MPG again now.
Whoops. I somehow only just saw this. I actually live in Nashville, not PA. Now, having had the car a bit longer, I'm averaging closer to 55 mpg. Still quite happy with that!
You need to give my wife a few pointers. She borrows my car with a 53 mpg 230 mile average and I get it back two days later and it's at 47.8 mpg. She complained to me "I think there is something wrong with your car, I was flooring it and it only got 33 mpg!"
