Hey Folks,I've noticed a sudden drop in MPG recently. Started about 2-3 weeks ago during that cool snap of 40-50 degree weather here in Northern IL. Wondering if the change to the "winter blend" of fuel has occurred?Anyone else experiencing similar results? Thanks all,Pat

After checking around on the Interwebz, I found that refineries start switching to winter blend early to mid September.2nd to last paragraph on this page:

Yep, I've been hit by winterblend MPGs as well. Not fun.

I'll take more of a hit once I have the winter rubber and studs on the car... until then my right and left foot will be the cause of my 31mpg's!
