Running my winter snows at 35 psi all around.

Just stopped snowing here got about 4-6 inches, the worst part of the trip home tmrw. will the the first few hours till I get into PA, leaving at 0400 hrs.

Anyone who has read any of my posts knows I like to try to squeeze every mile out of this little egg. No excessive speeds, CC on all the time, never touching the brake if possible, rolling to stop signs and lights. I can live with 39 mpg this trip NP, and in the winter if I can get 36-38 conbined I can live with that.

I mean really, I don't think I could have done much better on the way out, no traffic etc. Weather conditions tmrw, plus picking up my brother in NJ mid afternoon, I'll be happy if I can get 35-36 mpg.

BTW-I stopped at Cabela's on the way out and got a Ragg Wool Sweater on sale for 17.99 + tax.

For some reason the 'winter snows at 35 psi all around' made me think of Idahotom's fairly recent post where he wrote that he let some air out of the normally amply inflated tires on his Yaris in order to get up his hill re snowfall.

Good to hear you have had a safe trip so far. Congrats on the deal on the sweater!
