I have Rx330 and accord, please guide me if you have more details.

It`s due to the blending of the fuel. What ever they put in it really hurts millage, and performance too for that matter. Heater use has nothing to do with your fuel millage, it`s getting the heat from the heater core. So stay nice and toasty. A/C on the other hand does reduce it some, but not enough for me to worry about. I`m not sweating my *** off during these ridiculous Hot humid summers.
