"05 fuel economy getting worst!!!! - 17/12/05 12:27 PM
Hi, Is it just my truck's fuel economy getting worst or you guy with '05 having the same problem? Because my truck only got 25L/100km last two tanks. I though may the colder weather past 2 weeks (-14C), but no improvment when the weather warmer (-2C).
So what is your fuel economy? so that I can compare to my truck and bring it to dealer.
Thanks guys!!!
Happy holidays!!!!

I hate to sound like a grinch, but PLEASE do a search before posting. I think there are at least 3+ topics out there in the past few weeks about gas milage getting worse in the winter...here are two:

and

but yes, during the summer I got around 17-18mpg..in winter I now get about 14-15mpg, its the nature of the beast (and the cold)

yes as person above stated...
also please learn some proper grammar...
"Is it just my truck's fuel economy getting worst "
i would assume that instead of worst, one would use --> "worse"
maybe this link might help you:
proper word usage assistance

My last tank rated at a whopping 12 MPG. That's all city driving, short trips, with stop-and-go traffic all the time....sucky

When I brought mine home a week ago the trip computer avg. mpg was at 13.2
I have since brought that up to 17.2 mpg 600 miles into it. I am hoping I can raise that to 20mpg, then I can assume that it would be like 23mpg during the spring/summer.

it's the winter grade of gas finally being implemented. Last year i noticed i went from 13 MPG to 17 MPG in the spring. Oh well, it's better than your gas lines freezing.
