I loose about 1 1/2 - 2 MPG with winter fuel...... and around here it smells like straight up Kerosene.

1.5 - 2 mpg sounds about right...With winter fuel ("kerosene", #1, Blend of #1 & #2) you can loose 8-12% energy content in the fuel.

It is what it is...if you aren't that cold there, look for #2 non-winter blend.

I'm surprised you get winter fuel in NC. I don't think they blend any of it here in Eastern VA.

No choice here far as I can tell but like you said it is what it is .......
