Re: Winter Gas?
Don't forget also, that this colder weather means all the greases are colder, hence more friction/drag, till things warm up. The "cold" start function is on longer too, using more fuel till the engine warms up. Rainy days put more drag on the tires...speaking of which..make sure you check your tire pressure in this colder weather.
I am coming up on another re-fill on the G, so it will be interesting to see if mine has changed. My bigger problem is just keeping that thing at 100 - 105 on #99. Traffic flow at 6:00 is moving at 120 no problem, and that is when my economy drops.

Re: Winter Gas?
Funny...21.5 is about what I'm getting with my wagon and winter gas as well.
L20b, 38mm SU's, pertronix ignition, Z five speed (not the extra overdrive one), open chamber head, 14" wheels with 205/70s on them. I think the rear end a 3.9. At 70 mph it's turning about 3000 rpm.
