MPG going down as weather gets nicer
Cannot figure out why?

I’m guessing that warmer weather increases the weight of one’s right foot. 225 miles in and I can feel my right foot getting heavier.

Does it have anything to do with warmer air entering the intake? I always thought you wanted the air entering the intake to be as cool as possible. Maybe AC is on more?

The magnet under the accelerator gets stronger as temperatures rise.

Let’s see some pics of that bad boy!
1. Why skarkskin (intentional?) and how are you liking the color? There are some photos where I think I’d really like it… wife was not thrilled while showing her the potentials when I was shopping. 2. How are you liking the zl1 coming from the challenger WB? |

And I would guess the top goes down too in warmer weather!

Warmer air means less efficiency... Warm air is less dense, takes more air (and fuel) to make the same power (i.e. Right foot needs to be pushed farther to the floor to create the same thrill)... $70,000 car... What's gas cost??? WHO CARES!!!

Fran, I still say you should change your ZL1's name to Sharknado!

Intentional. I love the color. The depth of sparkle. The ZL1 is better in everyday except cup holder space
