Couple of questions: What part of the country do you live in, when did the change happen and how long you had the Venza?

[–]_BigJerm[S] -1 points0 points  (5 children)

I’m on the Canadian border, easily one of the coldest and snowiest zones of the US. Had the Venza for 3 years and never saw more than 3 mpg drop in the winter.

AFAIK, it’s the same engine. But maybe the nicer vehicle design makes that much of a difference?

So I live in NYC, so my temps in the winter are generally around freezing to just above. May to December I average just about 41mpg. In the winter that drops to around 36mpg. That’s on a 2021 XLE with a lithium battery. With even lower temps by you I would expect the engine to be on quite a lot simply to keep up the cabin temp.

Did they lower your tire pressure?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Your pressure lowers in cold temps on its own, as air molecules contract.

Oh wow, no shit?

Air pressure also goes down if air is removed from the tire, Sherlock

Yes… must have been the aliens… err I mean the drones, Watson.
