I don't agree with the troll about 35mpg, but it's more like a 10%
drop for us in Winter in the Northeast. I hope to cut that in half by
partially blocking off the grille, but that's modifying the car.

Interesting. I've not observed that yet. Since we're headed towards
cool weather, including a trip to Nashville in January, I'll make a
