Hi All: I have posted this issue before. I have noticed recently (over the summer until now) that my fuel economy has dropped. Some of the people I work with also noticed it. Is is possible that they are using reformulated stuff ? Robert

A hotter engine runs more efficiently. Most recent cars suggests driving away immediatly, not on the highway, to heat up the motor faster. On summer months, this happens quicker.
Off topic: brisker accelleration (`not` 0-60 in 8 sec) and quicker stops (`not` coming to a slooow stop) saves more gas. No gliding in nuetral.
In EPA restricted areas gas gets better and cheaper after Sept 15 when the lower vapor pressure stuff is allowed.
