I took off the Primacy snows today and put the S8s back on. My wife's Forester will be sufficient for any remaining ski trips should a storm hit this season.

The FE hit was surprisingly small for the P. Alpins. I figure less than 1.5 mpg average if I allow about a .5 MPG loss for pavement surface conditions. (I got that number as a ratio from driving the snows on all bare pavement vs. driviing them on slush, ice, snow, etc. I used whole tanks only for the comparision.) Not a lot of data for a valid result, but I did have three tanks for each pavement condition -- courtesy of Western Washington's tendancy for relatively constant weather trends over several days (Weeks ?).

It is the ignorant among us that will eventually destroy us all.

Here in the Great White North we're nowhere near that time of year. My best optimistic estimate is another 6 weeks, but it could easily stretch out to 8 if we're hit by late season storms.
