Thanks polar vortex for killing my mpg
My last tank and now this one the fuel gauge is dropping way faster than usual. Except that this winter here it's like 4 degrees outside before the wind chill. Only hit 269 miles before the low fuel light cut on, anyone else getting shitty mileage worse than last winter?

I live in Chicago, I bought my 2006 TSX 2 years ago and during the summer I was getting around 27 mpg city/hwy and every winter my mpg's drop getting around 22 mpg I expected it to drop but not that significant. I don't know if maybe the winter blend formula gas they use contributes to this?

Another thing, my tire pressures have been really low with the drastic temperature drops in the midwest. But yeah the winter blend definately has to do with it, as does long idling to warm up your car. I have remote start so I have been letting it run for 5 minutes or so before going out.
