Winter Gas Causing Drop in MPG? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I often have to put on my defroster and then realize much later I've still got it on when it's no longer needed. The defroster runs the air conditioning compressor, so it eats gas.

Ah! That's probably why my gas mileage has dropped so much lately! Along with winter road as well, of course.
