Have a 2014 XT with about 7500 miles on it in Wisconsin. Been getting 26-27 MPG average with about 50/50 highway/city miles when I am light on the accelerator. In the past month I have seen my average drop to 22-23 using the exact same driving methods over the same routes.
I realize that the colder weather and winter blend fuel will have an impact but a 15% reduction? What's going to happen when the *real* cold weather hits? It's only been in 30-50 degree range this past month - I can only imagine what 10 degrees will be like.
I run 91 octane with no ethanol. I am coming from a Nissan Murano with a CVT that only saw about a 7% decrease in winter MPG... Is this just the accepted norm with XTs?
