Default SAD? Try SAFE!

SAD, or Seasonal Affected Disorder (AKA Winter Blahs) is something that's been in the news lately around here. Althought it's far more complicated, It's essentially a depression caused by lack of sunlight. Here in Michigan, in the month of December, for example, we had 14 minutes of sunshine. The whole month.

Anyway, while I don't seem to suffer from it, I have noticed a bit of SAFE, (Which I just made up), or Seasonal Affected Fuel Economy. It's caused by poor weather "polluting" your tank data, causing you not to want to drive in bad weather or during the colder days or months, a negative interest in posting your tank data, and a disinterest in other hybrid owners, and in some cases, anger at those who live in areas not affected by SAFE.

So, anyone else suffer from SAFE?
