Anyone from Missouri? MPG problems inside

[50MPGDream]

4 MPG, where are you in MO? if you are near the St. Louis region I would go for a ride with you and give you some pointers if you would like. I am not the best out there by any means, but I have averaged 42.7 in an automatic for the lifetime of the car (1.5 years, almost 22,000 miles)

oh, and with recent drops in gasoline prices, the E10 mandate could go by the wayside. MO state law only mandates the E10 blend when ethanol is cheaper than gasoline. this is no longer the case, I have not heard of any changes, but it could happen. (however if you live in the St. Louis metro, this won't help because we have required E10 for years to keep the air clean)

you'd probably be shocked at how much less MPG you get when the temp drops to below freezing
