Scotty, welcome to Tennessee. We moved here in '05, diggin it ever since.
My question is on my '08 Mercury Mariner (escape). It has 250,000 miles and gets great gas mileage between 60 and 75 degrees. Below 60 or above 75 my mileage on the highway drops from 24.5 to 22. This means combined mileage drops from 21-22 to 20. Doesn't sound like much but adds up. What would cause the gas mileage to drop so much with outside temperature and make it so sensitive to outside temperature? Side note is regardless of temperature I get 16 to 17 pulling the popup camper.

The only thing that makes sense is you warm your car up more when it gets cold. Nothing else should mess with your MPG when it gets colder.
