winter mpg

When my 220D gelled up at thirty below in South Dakota several weeks back, I was overjoyed to load it up with straight #1 the next day after thawing it and me out.
I suspect cold radial tires does not get significant, if any, credit for the reduced mpg in winter. I'd guess cold radials acct's for at least ten percent of the ten percent.
