Corolla MPG is so temperature-sensitive?
The fuel economy of my 2003 Corolla LE automatic seems to vary a lot through the year. In the summer it could reach 40MPG with a mixed driving of 75% highway and 25% local. However it could bottom around 30-32 MPG under the same driving condition when the temperature is around 20's F in the winter. I understand that it needs to burn more gas when it's cold, but such a huge fluctuation still surprises me, and I don't see such a big range in other brands. Is this normal?
