Something aint right with the gas - Toyota Yaris Forums

I don't know about in Canada, but here in the winter they release the heavier, "winter weight" gasoline. I know exactly when that's in the tank because there is a marked drop in my gas mileage. Then, pair that up with longer warm ups, revving the engine if you get stuck or to get from a dead stop it really effects the mpgs.

Yep! The culprit is the "winter" formula gasoline.
