MPGs - All About the Weather - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

My usual commute starts at 5am when the temperature is ~50 and, presumably, the air is coastal-Kalifornia dense. I get ~42 mpg. Yesterday I made the same trip at noon with the temperature at ~65 degrees. I got 49 mpg.

Anybody else notice such a difference based on temperature and/or air density?

Absolutely. For me, the big divide seems to be around 45 degrees. Above that, I'm pretty good. Below that, the mpg drops significantly.

It was 10 degrees this morning on my commute. Was getting 35 mpg

Supposedly hotter better mileage. There was a post I believe in the forums early days about it.

Tomorrow morning its supposed to be colder here, 7 deg F (-14 deg C).
Can't wait for the spring.

Yup, around about 70F (21C) seem to be good in Pickering, Ont. Canada.
We are 330 ft above sea level.
Recently at -10C, (14F), my around town is ~ 8.4 L per 100 KM, (29 mpg U.S. gall), but that is all stop and go, shopping type driving. Barely gets the little critter warmed up properly.

Yea the temp impacts my mpg for sure. I was just over 45 mpg halfway through this tank of winter blend and we got down to 4.F and I couldn't keep it up. I am currently at 44. I'm excited to better weather so I can hopefully make it into the 50 club. Happy coastings!
