It makes a difference, also, if you live in a cooler climate (or at least
where the mornings are chilly). When the engine first starts in the
morning, the computer is running it in rich mode (like a choked carb) to
warm the engine faster and prevent stalling. Keeping this in mind, if you
make several trips during the day, each time starting a cold engine, your
MPG could potentially go way down. Also, winter gasoline is different from
summer gasoline (and CA gasoline is (or used to be) different from gasoline
in the other 49 states), although I don't know what the effects on MPG
are.....
