Summer I got 39-43mpg, as soon as winter hit I was down to 33-35mpg.
Then I messed with my timing and got up to 38, THEN I noticed when I took a 100mile trip my odo showed 90 miles. So if that stays consistent I actually get more like 40-43mpg in winter. So in other words I'm not totaly sure what I'm getting. :roll:

don't really know what my milleage summer/winter is but what I do know is that my engine runs a lot smoother in winter. Something to do with cold/denser air getting into the diesel mix  :lol:  like having an intercooler without the radiator ...
