- Don't worry, it is winter time and your MPG should show it. My friend
- bought a 91 CRX before last winter. He thought he had problems also when
- his MPG fell off last winter. You are lucky, his drops off 10-15 MPG
- this time of year. (He warms up his car quite a bit)
-
- Wait for March or April, that will cure it.
-
- My Tempo mileage fell from 30 MPG to 22 with the winter/oxygenated gasoline
- combination. I do hope that that bad gas cuts pollution by more than 25%.
- (Which is the amount of extra fuel I use this time of year).
-
- January 31st is the last day they have to sell the crap around here!
