one must consider that these engines run more efficiently at cooler temps., i.e. cooler inducted air.

I'm wondering what method you are using to estimate fuel mileage?

Pump gallons/odometer is most accurate. If you are using the built in computer mileage gauge then be sure to reset it at a new tank of gas to get a good avg read.

Otherwise its just a cumulative average including the time it sits idling in the driveway, waiting to pick up kids after school etc etc and skews the results a bit.
