water/temp/mileage

[talltom]

I had a new scirocco in 79 and it normally got around 25 mpg. One
nippy(50s-60s) morning that was kind of foggy in places I drove 134 miles
more orless on the 
freeway and refueled upon arrival. I just about crapped. 2.4 gallons!
that's(48 mpg)
the only time in the life of the car I ever saw this, and the only thing changed
before or after was the weather.
