Wow.
In my case, I put on my winters a couple weeks ago which replaced my run flats. Other than the winters being louder, I can't believe the difference in ride quality, lol. I thought that maybe replacing RFT for a better ride was an exaggeration but it's definitely not. |

Not an accurate measure of your fuel economy. The trip computer has zero history to base your MPG calculations. Drive it for a a tank, let the computer build your average and then your tanks will read more accurate from that point on. As always, best way to is to log distance and then after filling up at the pump do your calcs then with actual amount placed into the tank.
When using your BC button to scroll through your settings on your dash, you will see two MPG readouts. One, which is a current reading of what the car is actually using currently. The second one beign your current average the car is tracking. I get around 12L/100K (19.8 MPG) in the winter and perhaps 11L per 100KM (21.5 MPG) in the summer on my N55. Winters on 19" Pirelli Scorpions RFT and summers are the staggered 20's on the Bridgestone Dueler HPs which are god awefull and noisy. I actually like putting my winters on over my summers in terms of ride quality and noise. Will be going non-RFT for summer when I need to change my summers out. That being said, between the idling and driving like a knob in snow/winter compared to driving more aggressively in summer with traction, it really all buffs out in the end. Compared to my last truck that got around 16L / 100KM (14MPG), I'll take it. |

Maybe you need to ease up on the long pedal...
I run winters and my mileage doesnt really change at all. I even had to swap mine early this year before it got cold out, and I didnt see much, if any, change to my fuel economy. Unless you're running a cheap overly heavy tire or the wrong sizes, you shouldnt see that crazy of a difference. Cold temps and extra idling will change your fuel economy more than anything. I just made a 3k mile trip to Idaho and back on winters and still managed an average of 30mpg according to my trip, and 27mpg self calculated (35d). Literally no change from any of my summer road trips on summer tires. |
