Fuel economy in cold city driving still hovers between 11-12L/100km incl idle time for clearing off the ice. Not awful.
Curious how long your commute is. Also appreciate you give number from start where I swear some people reset once the car is warm and going downhill.
My commute is nil since I work 100% from home, but I'm on vacation for the remainder of the year (had unused vacation days due to COVID - can't go anywhere). Due to construction at the wife's work, there are reduced parking spaces available so by the time she gets there at 7:45am, there are no spots available.
The trip is 5.2km one way. The trip computer when I got there this morning was 16.1L/100km, which would have included some 4-5 mins of idling while clearing the windows. By the time I got back home, it was 12.1L/100km. Lifetime (410km) is 11.1L/100km still.
I have no plans on ever resetting the lifetime fuel economy avg since the car otherwise keeps a record of last trips in the main HMI screen.
I'm not driving aggressively, but definitely lean into the throttle once the car is warm cuz it's fun.
The rain from last night did freeze and the residential roads were slick, which I didn't notice but the n00b behind me slid straight into the intersection after me (thankfully missing me - he was also looking to turn right but the car just understeered straight into the intersection). It did have winter tires, brand and condition unknown since there was no accident or reason for me to stop, but clearly a newer model Camry on steelies. I'm liking the Hakkapeliitas more and more each day, but honestly, I think the Blizzaks are still the best (none were available when I purchased though).
