Maybe you should disclose that reading was from one of your track days!

@JROD9496, if you have a shorter geared M/T, expect lower average mpg. Also, as @radroach said, Winter blends sold starting around mid-September are usually 10%-15% lower efficiency than Summer blends.

First things first, check your tire pressures and get your free four-wheel alignment from the dealership then start measuring.

BTW, I don't bother checking since I drive mountain roads short distances and compared to my FJ Cruiser's 13 mpg on Winter premium, 20+ is money so I don't care since I'm having too much fun.
