#102 of 196 Why is my gas mileage always goes down in winter? by 97alty Jan 29, 2008 (9:15 pm)
So why is my gas mileage always goes down in winter? I know it's colder (in most places ) so more oxygen in the air and engine needs more gas for proper mixture, but it should make more power than too, right?

I am very happy to report that my mpg have been right in line with the 19/26 epa. I have 1500 miles on my car and here are my last three readings:   22.1 80% in town/20% hwy 26.1 10%/90% 25.2 30%/70%   For such a fast ride, I'm pleasantly surprised to achieve such strong mpg numbers during the break in miles. Hopefully these numbers will continue to improve during ownership.

Replying to: tslbmw (Jan 30, 2008 8:50 am) hey tslbmw, hope you don't mind me asking but where do you live? is the climate usually warm in your area? i ask because i called the nissan dealership and the only reason they gave me for bad mileage was cause the cold weather. i average around 18 mpg now having 2300 miles, but damn i'm jealous you're gettting roughly 20 something (your city driving beats my highway miles!)

Replying to: generee (Jan 30, 2008 5:46 pm) I'm in Richmond, VA. The trip that I got 26 & 25 mpg was this past weekend to Atlantic City, NJ and it was in the 20s/30s. And the around town temps (the 22 mpg tank) were about 50 degrees here locally.   I have to be completely honest with you, I am blown away by the numbers I've received so far. Now, one note, I kept the rpms below 4000 for the first 1200 miles and have since opened it up. Also, when I have the "auto" mode on the climate control on, I always make sure the "a/c" button is off.   Anyway, i don't think you're alone, maybe they stuck the 2.5 in my 3.5 SE!

Replying to: tslbmw (Jan 30, 2008 8:50 am) I just recorded 26.8 MPG on a 300 mile tank, rim to rim from previous tank on my '07 3.5 SE with 6,700 miles on it. That was figured using a calculator against the mileage meter showing 27.5 MPG at the end of the trip. For awhile it was up to 28.2 MPG on the meter, but it declined during a terrific headwind for about the last 1/3 of the trip.

Replying to: victrolajazz (Jan 31, 2008 1:48 pm) So it seems that my mileage may not be that unusual. To me, 26/27 is excellent! How about your normal around town mpg? Replies to this message: victrolajazz (Feb 01, 2008 1:39 pm)
