Re: 97 civic LX magnaflow 2.25 bad gas?
In my experience the winter/cold weather months I always get at least 2-4 MPG (miles per gallon) less, I believe it's not only due to warming the car up for allot longer but I've heard gas companies use a lesser expensive "winter" blend fuel which I think is just cheaper overall and doesn't competely burn as effeciently so you get even worse mileage per tank.
Anyone else have theories or want to sort of confirm my observations?
