Its more to do with the cold dense air... more air=more fuel= less MPG

On a 190mile run yesterday I got about 28.5mpg... but I wasn't hanging around.

I had a reasonably steady commute to work yesterday and saw 56.8 mpg. Mostly national speed limit A roads with a few 30's in there aswell.

You'll get slightly more fuel as well when filling up when its cold, as the fuel contracts.   :rolleye:
