A few weeks ago, the school buses made their presence known as kids went back to school. At the snap of a finger, morning commute times increase by 20%. A couple weeks after that, temperatures are down about 30 degrees (F) as we head into winter. Net result: Per-tank fuel mileage goes from 36 MPG down to 31 MPG. -Can't wait for the next big drop in temperature after Thanksgiving.
FYI: For every 10 degrees (Fahrenheit) temperature drop, air density increases by about 1%. (please don't nit-pic, it's an approximate rule of thumb with plenty of caveats).
Yeah baby... really looking forward to spring already!
