winter gas does not get as good mileage as summer gas.

colder temps will drop your tire pressure and increase rolling resistance

you use more electrical accessories, and these cost fuel

rolling resistance increases in wet winter weather.

lower air temps mean higher air density which means more aerodynamic drag

it is not at all uncommon for you to have a 10% drop in fuel economy in the winter
