Just another thing about winter driving.  Here in Colorado they switch
over to gasoline with Ethanol or MTBE added to curb smog during the winter
months.  If your state or providence does the same thing, you will see at
least a 10-15% drop in gasmileage just because of the gasoline change, has
nothing to do with your car.
