I usually get 13 MPG. I have a good gas cap (I think), so I'm really surprised. This was my first winter, is this common?

WardL, so how many times did you sit in the car and go vroom, varoom? As I understand it from these threads there is a decidedly symbiotic relationship between the car and owner and even though the car was garaged, it did not fully comprehend and thus it assimilated your emotions cranked itself into virtual overdrive and thus experienced a loss of fuel because it visualized it was on the track. Sounds plausible to me, did you notice a high state of tension from the Cobra when you emitted the vroom, varoom, just curious?
Any counter arguments to this hypothesis, evaporation notwithstanding?
