#14 of 17 Fuel economy conflicts by mek0123 Nov 25, 2007 (8:31 pm)
Don't forget that in the winter months, Michigan (my home state) and other northern climate states use "winterized fuel". It affects fuel efficiency by at least 15%. That's a minimum of 15% to the negative for us consumers. Less polluting and just what we need to continue getting hosed at the pumps by BIG OIL!!

Replying to: barry626 (Aug 12, 2007 8:36 pm) Just checking out Avenger posts again and noticed your comment. I wanted to let you know that since your profile indicates NY State, and I live in Michigan, if you have remote start or simply have a tendency to "warm up" your vehicle for extended time, (10minutes or more is extended), your fuel economy will be significantly lower. I have remote start on both my minivans and the week I simply let them run for about 2-3 minutes before driving away, my economy stayed in the 20-21mpg avg range. When I let them idle for 15-20 minutes, my economy dropped down to 17.5-18mpg. Both of these tests involved mainly city driving. Also, using remote start in both Chrysler 3.3L equipped V6 engines warrants more frequent tune ups than normal. Like every 30-40K instead of 100K. I don't like getting in a cold vehicle, so I'll pay the extra. Just an fyi.
