Another mileage thread
Back during the winter I was getting about 20 MPG in mostly city driving and about 22 MPG in mostly highway driving. I'm now lucky to get 20 on the highway, and I just finished a tank at about 16 MPG mostly city. Driving pretty conservatively, flat southeast Texas roads.
Two possibilities:
1. Hotter weather equals less dense air, so poorer performance, including mileage. Been really hot down here.
2. During the winter, I wasn't driving with the AC on all the time, like I am now. AC use reduces both power and mileage.
Comments? A lot of you know a lot more about this than I do.
