Winter Blend Gas
Dear ClubLexus mad scientists,
I understand that the winter blend with its higher butane rating is slightly less energy efficient and will reduce gas mileage by a small margin.
What does that do to the octane rating? How about overall engine performance?
PS. for the Texans:
I wonder if here in South-East Texas we switch over later than the rest due to much warmer weather.
Cheers.

1) Colder air will drop your mpg simply because air gets denser and the computer compensates by injecting more fuel to maintain stoichiometric ratio for combustion.
2) summer vs winter additives
