Colder air..., isn't that the premise behind having the intake away from the engine? Make sense to me that in colder weather you should have improved HP but not sure about the MPG dropping.

this may be a stretch, but i've seen a seized caliper decrease MPG like crazy.

My gas mileage has gone down lately as well. I think it's because gas is almost 1/2 of what it costs a month or 2 ago....so we're giving it a little more throttle than before.

i just changed my air filter to k&n and it's great. seems like my MPG has gone up as well and better throttle response.

check your air filter...if it's dirty then just go k&n.
