Poor Gas Mileage on Snows
I just got snowtires on my car two weeks ago and have noticed an incredible drop. I expected a slight drop, but nothing like this...
All Seasons 2 weeks ago yielded 563km to one tank. First week the snows yielded 505km to one tank. This past week, I got 476km to one tank. That's a 87km (15%) drop in gas mileage. Is this expected, or does this seem extreme to anyone? Don't get me wrong. The tires behave awesome in the snow and ice. I am just wondering if this is the price I have to pay in the winter or if I can expect to see these dwindling returns to the pump continue when I go back to the All Seasons in the spring. |
