I started getting at least 40 less per tank, couldn't figure why
Then realized between natural leakage and temperature change, my tires were several PSI down from right after an oil change months earlier.
Tire pressure may not explain the whole 100, but it could be a significant contributor.

Winter blend of gas usually costs a mile or 2 per gallon.

Is your tire pressure low? You can up the tire pressure and get better mileage.

100 miles per tank though? Good advice none the less.

Watch the temperature. If it is not warming up will be really bad.

Also see if the exhaust is burning white or has excess moisture in it.

Just figure out that actual MPG. This miles/tank thing does nobody any good.
