::.. Chip back to stock for winter?

[Alexlind123]

don't forget, allthough in winter a car should be more efficience then in summer, BUT because you don't want to sit in the cold, you turn on your heater.
You drive more with lights on.
All these things make a car to use more fuel.

Not only that, but in the US (in my state at least) ethanol is used in gas in the winter to improve emissions - this lowers fuel economy (kind of ironic, isnt it?) and causes car to perform worse.

Some companys will use even more than 10%.

"10% of your winter fuel may be grown right here in the USA!

E10 Fuel is created from a 90% mix of gasoline and 10% ethanol.

Regular Gasoline will be discountinued and E10 Fuel will be required in these areas November 1 through February 29:

Oregon State: Clackamas, Multnomah, Washington, Josephine (Grants Pass), Klamath (Klamath Falls), and Jackson (Medford) counties.

Washington State: Clark County, King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Spokane counties.

You will also find ethanol blends at most other retail outlets in surrounding counties simply because it is easier to blend all fuels in one market area instead of blending different fuels to distribute to other sections of the same market."

especially when all the torque in the world is lost crawling off the line because of the snow.

You have all the torque in the world? Can I have some?

The streets aren't congested and slipperly ALL the time, even in Toronto in winter. For those other times, I'm glad to have the chip.
