Default Re: Hot weather mpg better?

I've recorded every tankful of my '03 for over two years, and I've run a regression of mpg vs. temperature. R^2 = 0.33, which means that one-third of the variation in mpg from tankful to tankful is explained by temperture alone. Average mpg at 20 F is 36; average mpg at 80 F is 47. Our overall average year-round is 42.
