that was my december mileage average too

august was 44.2mpg

october was best at 47.2mpg

november ( new 09 ) was 42.3mpg ( ain't broke in yet typically after 20,000 miles you get 10% better than new ).

Winter mileage drops badly until you engine reached full temp ( about 10 miles at 28 degrees )

This week with ice storm ( and ice on the roads ) I have only reached 28 mpg on a 4 mile commute the last 7 days ( usually 39 mpg ).
Had to scrape ice off 3 times once with 2 inches of ice took 40 minutes of idling to get the car warm enough to start the melt the ice.
Boy does that kill the mileage.
