I have to quote something that was said to me once...

"A warm engine is an efficient engine and it's bloody freezing!"  :P

Hi Guys,

Don't know if anyone else has noticed any sort of drop in economy during this cold spell, but I seem to have lost quite a few miles per tank based upon the same sort of driving. Rather than getting 550 from a tank, I am barely seeing 450 an equivalent drop of about 6mpg.

I am assuming this is mainly down to the car being on choke for longer when started from cold - any other factors?

Anyone else notice such a difference?

I de-ice the car with the engine running which can't be efficient!
