MPG fall off recently - Cold Weather related?

[BLUEOVALRACER]

I filled up yesterday 24.2 MPG but it was in the mid 20's Saturday and only 17 degrees yesterday!! I guess that's not to bad it doesn't have 400 miles on it yet!!

It was in the sub zero’s for nearly 10 days. Gas milage this last fill up was 18.3. Too much remote start at 0 miles per gallon and too frigg’n cold for it to want to move easily.

Last tank was 23.2 Mpg with snow and cold weather the week before i filled up!!This tank is showing 25 mpg it's been in the 50's to now the 30's for outside temps!!

From living in NJ & upstate NY for many winters the winter bled gas is defiantly a MPG killer, that & warming up your vehicle before driving are the causes.

For me, it was a combination of the cold AND wind. The last three tanks were 25.1, 23.3, and 21.8, starting Jan 2. This coincides perfectly with the drop in temps here in the STL area. The last tank we saw average highs under 20 F, with winds on many days topping 25 mph.

That’s still pretty good for the 2.0. I just filled up yesterday and the screen display is already around 23. It had gotten down to 19 something over the past two weeks. I probably used remote start more times in the last two weeks than I have in my life.

Perfect weather here… 70s no wind, getting around 28 - 30 in my ‘22 Badlands

Not sure if it's the weather or the fact that I swapped out the Conti's for BFG Trails (most likely) my avg went from 31 to 28 mpg

I’d be ok with 28! The downside of owning a Badlands is my average is about 23. The Big Bend with a 1.5 is a lot easier on gas than mine!

I drove down that way last week. I-93S though S NH, MA though Boston, onto RT 3S to a town on the South Shore. Arrived at my destination with the best gas milage ever on the car computer, 33.8 MPG. I did between 65- 78 ish most of the way, except through the city. In winter I seem to get around 24-27 MPG or so.

I don't calculate by hand because math is for the other people.

Quick update: The warmer temps seems to have resolved my MPG issues. I got 30.5mpg and almost 450miles out of my last fill-up. <see pic> I had no idea the cold weather would affect the MPG so bad.

Averaging 50 MPH, right in the sweet spot.
