Tell me about it...

I am in Michigan, and this has been one of the nastiest winters I can remember. I just filled up this morning, and got the worst mileage I have ever had with this car - 28.6. This dropped my lifetime average to 33.9 (below 34.0 for the first time). Temps here for the last week have been around 5-10 degrees F, it seems like it snows (a lot) every day, and this tank had a few trips where I let the car idle to warm it up.

I agree - Southern Cal IS cheating!
