Default Re: Light colored car = better gas mileage

I read, I laughed, I replied.

Up in the great white north we have two seasons. Winter and road construction. badap bap bap!

Seriously though. If you are not on the equator and get to enjoy the opposite effects of this polychromatic mileage spectrum. Such proposed mileage hits on the darker cars would be negated in during the cold winters, n'est pas?

I'm in Ottawa. The extremes are 35 C in the summer and we can get short cold snaps of - 35 C in the winter.

I used to live in Southern Japan. It didn't snow where I was. It's amazing how many white cars they had over there. Only a masochist would get black on black leather over there. All my cars were white over there for that reason. There are other religious / cultural reasons for the popularity of white cars over there though, but that's another thread.
