I am seeing about the same, losing 100-200kms per tank right now. Partly due to the winter blend, partly due to remote start and idle 30 minutes every morning, and 15 minutes before I leave work.

I hate being cold in the morning.

Well, ya. I said that when I posted. Losing almost 200kms a tank vs summer time.

Plus with the baby, I am always warming the truck up before I put him in it too. I am not complaining, it is what it is. I own a truck, I am used to it.
