Good to hear you have had no problems with the cold. Early hours still, but still good to hear. Sidenote: your vehicle only feels absolute temperature, not windchill.

Not surprised by your mileage. It is a new, tight engine. You are using winter fuel. Most importantly, the expectations for higher mileage are based on imperial gallons, not US gallons. Please let us know how it goes as it gets broken in.
