Drinking Petrol

[Smith172]

Is it just my motor or has anyone elses mpg dropped since the weather turned cold, Im getting about 60-70 miles less from a tank full of Optimax. Not good when you travel 100 miles a day to work, Im worried I might have to start biking there

God yes!!!

I thought it was just me and I was worried thinking there was summat wrong with the car.

In fact, Ive removed my Pipercross Viper now to see if it made a difference...

My trip computer aint showing it to be much different, but the needle seems to be dropping faster than it did...

Its not as bad as Smith172s but there is a difference!
