so all winter, I do basically the same route, 2-3 KM with 3-4 red lights, then 20KM of highway driving at 110km/per hour, then another 8km of city driving with up to 20 lights.
My fuel estimator has been pretty much locked in at 10.1 to 10.2L/100KM, I live in Alberta, tempuratures are usually in the minus 10C range in the mornings during the commute and maybe up to -5 in the evening commute.
the last 2 weeks have been warm, around freezing during the morning commute, and 5C in the evening commute.
My L/100K has dropped down to 9.9, and I went from estimating 570KM to a tank, to around 650KM to a tank.
not complaining of course, just didn't think that slight change in weather would make such a difference. my hunch is that the car drinks more gas during the engine warmup phase, which is shorter depending on the weather?
Anyone else see this?
