cold weather and your mileage?
19mpg combined, 20city/18hwy!
i used to get 24-25 highway in the summer time cruising at 68mph. There was a few cold snaps recently as low as -30'c. i have noticed my highway mileage has dramatically depreciated. This was expected because of denser air which means more drag, specially for SUVs. There is now about 1-2psi of boost while cruising. I have never experienced turbo boost while cruising except for a diesel benz truck i had long time ago, cool. my city mileage is only slightly affected though.

Cold weather for me is 20-25F at night and 50-55F during the day. Having to switch to the oxygenated fuel blend for fall/winter hits my mpgs about 5-10% on the RDX and TSX depending on my combo of city/hwy driving.

Here's my MPG in our 2007 Tech since January 1st. The first 6 are 100% in town driving and the last one is 95% highway. The -10F to -20F days take their toll! We get about 4 MPG more in the summer.

^Perhaps you don't enjoy the full throttle bursts as much as the rest of us here on AZ.
I love to hit the hammer on the up-hill curves out of the city on my way home. No one, I mean NO ONE passes me.
Yes, my milage is primary heavy commute traffic and city. Hwy miles are on par as well.

Yeah I get shit mileage too... but I cant help keep my foot out of it. Especially when it snows and you get to go drifting 
. I get around 16.8mpg-18mpg when driving more spiritedly. When driving normally I get about 19.6mpg and around 11mpg when it snows hahaha. I do probably 70% highway 30% city, doing roughly 100km there and back.
I also dont have hondata.

I do go full boost but that doesn't need WOT, i find little difference in power pressing the accelerator any further once at full boost with the exception of car running pig rich. If i go wot in the city i short shift at 4000 to save gas. 7300rpm is reserved for summer time at the track.

If i go wot in the city i short shift at 4000 to save gas. 7300rpm is reserved for summer time at the track.
