Mileage Increase!

Anybody else notice a mileage increase the last month or so? My last two trips of a 1000 miles round trip have noticed almost 1.5 mpg increase. I was wondering if we are getting some better fuel, possibly fresher? Usually at this time of year here in the upper midwest I see a decline in mileage due to colder weather and winter blend fuels. The old 99 is well broke in at 209,00 so I cant contribute it to that. maybe just coincidence. Oh well I will take whatever I can get. Fuel was down to 2.29 at Burns Harbor, IN exit 22 Petro last night. Its terrible when 2.29 a gallon fuel starts to look good isnt it. -ALAN

Nope I am seeing my usual winter blend drop in fuel economy, but it is higher than usual since I put the predator tune in.

I hear the bio-diesel can be problematic in the cold weather.
