Rep Power: 0 Summer gas, cooler temp?
I have noticed that the temp gauge on my car seems to be running a little lower for the past week or two than it has been. I think the gas stations have switched back to the summer gas blend, because last tank I saw an increase of about 3 mpg. Would the summer gas blend cause a cooler operating temperature? Just curious, it isn't much of a change

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

My mileage has been slowly going back up too.

Oh hell, here. I googled it.

Looks like the storage terminal has to have RFG fuel by April 15, but your local station may get it a bit later than that.

Ok, JW. I could be imagining the lower temp reading. And I think it did switch gas, I went from 35 to 38 mpg from one tank to the next, with little change in weather. It's a welcome sight
