Its that time of the year again...
Cold weather season (it'll be -23c tomorrow morning). Just curious as to what my cold weather neighbours get for mileage once the cold weather hits. I've blown through a quarter tank of gas and have less than 100km on it so far. :angry: In warm weather season the first 100km barely touches the fuel gauge.
Unfortunately I don't have a garage to park my 08 FEH in so i'm limited to plugging in the block heater at night which doesn't do a whole lot to help my fuel economy. |
Re: Its that time of the year again...
The colder weather and changing to snow tires costs me about .5L/100km, or 2-3 mpg.
If you live where the roads are salted (and I agree there's no need to salt them at -23) it's much better in terms of rusting to keep a car outside with a block heater than in a heated or unheated garage. |

I lose at least 2-3l/100 in the winter. She revs between 2500 and 3000 rpm when doing 60km/h and it seems under heavy engine load when below -5c
