Winter Blend Question

Posted by John on March 01, 03 at 18:11:00:

I've read about the fuel on the East Coast having a winter blend. Coming from Cal. it's all new to me. Could someone please explain the difference between winter and summer? Why the drop off in mpg? Guess that's why my sub is only getting about 8mpg.

  • Also factor in the various additive packages each brand puts in on top of "winter/summer blend" n/t Ben 20:59:17 3/01/03 (0)
