Default YEAH! Warm weather!

Just drove my HCHII this past weekend for the first time since Easter. I live on "campus" so I don't drive much at all, in fact, I filled my gas tank for the first time in 2 months this past weekend too, lol.

Thanks to the warm weather here in MD (was 80 degrees) I got 70.4 mpg over 15 miles, a PR for me for that distance. I think part of it is the Mobil 1 0w-20 I put in spring break also. Before, my highest FE for a decent distance was around 63 mpg I think. I am glad the days of 40-50 mpg in the winter are over, especially since I'm moving to Charleston here in June once I graduate!

Everybody else seeing better numbers now?

I'm seeing about 30% better numbers now that temps are getting into the 60s. I drive the speed limit, and and during my commute I was getting 40MPG during the winter at 60MPH. Now, I am enjoying getting 55-60MPG at the same speeds now that it is warmer.
