98 civic ex

[METAL MONKEY]

my wife drives an 98 civic ex, and ever since we bought it, when it gets cold the gas mileage goes down 3 mpg or so. is this just because of the winter gas or something else. i regularly maintence it, tuned it up recently, so no prob there.

thanks

some states use a different blend of gas. Mn, and WI, both use "Winterblends" which containes more "oxygenated" fuel.

It's not just winter gas...cold weather makes every car get worse mileage.

so...is there anything that could be done to improve gas mileage or just live with it?

Find some gas without ethanol in it, and start using more hairspray to help the global warming.
