Subject:Gas consumption higher in winter?
From:Rocket J Squirrel

I'm exploring this now. It seems that, without any change in driving
habits, my van's mileage is poorer in winter than in summer. I'm talking
northern hemisphere here, and by "winter" I mean "cold" and summer,
well, not cold.

I'll be checking this for the next couple months, comparing 10% ethanol
gas v. straight gas.

In the meantime, has anyone else noticed this? Is it common, with a
simple explanation?
