Default Spring is coming!!!

OK - so this probably isn't really exciting news to those of you in the warmer regions of the country. Today in Central PA - the temperature was about 45 this morning and nearly 60 at noon. Compared with 25 in the morning / 40 at noon. My typical daily commute (to work in the AM after dropping the kid off at daycare, home for lunch and then back, and then home at the end of the day - about 9 miles total for 4 trips, 6 red lights per trip and a stops at daycare and the grocery store which is on the way to work) is just a killer for mileage as concerned! I had been getting about 30-32MPG in the cold weather over the first month I've had the car. Today my daily trip so far is at 38MPG after getting back to work after lunch. Nothing else changed! Yippee! Bring on the warm weather.

Eric
