Yea, In upper midwest/new england states[canada too ] where it constantly stays cold during the winter, it plays hell with your mileage. Going 70-75 on the highway on a cold day or night Ill average about 25-27 mpg. But thats also with the car being cold for most of the day at school. Check back in on this thread in about april or may timeframe and give an update, thats one of the only ways we would beable to tell unless you get it dyno'd in a controlled enviroment where the ambient temp is between 50 and 70, and the cars warm.
