One of the reasons I couldnt live down south. I got too much Ukranian genetics/blood and the increased farting would push me to insanity. GL Olly. Dont let flint get too crazy.

Just did my last fill up that I'll need to get home. Grand total...... $305.45


Flint you'd better have some hot and loose bridesmaids! :lol:

Is the southern definition of "loose" different than the north definition?

I prefer woman who are the exact opposite of loose. Like a tiger.

Probably has nothing to do with weather. It has to do with the states you're driving through and how much Ethanol they require in there gas. In northern states they use 10-15% alcohol, especially during the winter months. The higher the alcohol the lower milage.
Just a guess.
Here in Oregon we run 10% and, when I was in Cali, they had 15%. I lost 4MPG in my wife's Ford Exploder while in Cali.

While the cold weather is better for an engine to run in, the mileage suffers.

I shouldn't have said "better", more powerful is more like it. Denser air meaning more oxygen and in turn, more fuel to combust it. It uses more gas, probably 5-10% more.

Wrong, if that were so, then when I was in Cali, I would have had better milage. It is a good 20 degrees colder in Oregon than in SoCal. Now if you had used the arguement about air pressure, as in atmospheric, you might have gotten some where. I get 20% better milage when I am in WY at 5500ft and above.(only because of the EFI)
Alcohol is less combustible, or actually slower in the process. The VOC for Ethanol is different than the benzyne and other compounds normally found in gasoline. By adding alcohol they are removing moisture from your tank but, they also slow the burning or ignition rate by diluting the gas with the alcohol, which burns slower due to it's VOC.

Actually, I'm 100% right. It's science. Colder air is denser(more O2), when it goes into the combustion chamber, the engine has to dump more fuel in to keep the ratios the same, in turn creating more power. Now, altitude does affect it, so that may be your problem, that and as you stated, ethanol. Ours is all 10% here and I don't travel too much farther than a few hours, so it's all the same. I see my car and explorer getting less in the winter. Diesel stays just about the same due to the turbo.

Oh, and your gas mileage at a higher altitude is because there is thinner air(less o2) and less fuel being pumped in. Also less HP.

Truth. I've driven across/around the country at least 7 times, and the best gas mileage I've gotten has been from Virginia and Arkansas gas. The absolute worst is Delaware. No idea why, as the ethanol percentages are the same (I think). Must have to do with their particular recipe. If I run down to VA to fill up, I get about the same mileage increase as I do if I fill up here with ethanol-free.
