Anybody else noticed they use more fuel in winter?

Just wonder if any year long riders noticed if they tend to use more fuel in the winter months or not?

I used to get to work and back for almost a full week on 1 tank, lately i feel im using more than i did in the summer and need to refil earlier.

Wondering if maybe i just have a small leak on one of my fuel pipes and im losing petrol somewhere? Or maybe the cold weather affects it meaning it does use slightly more? Either that or i just ride faster to get out the cold and burn more

Yep mine is using more fuel getting one to two days less than I was out of a full tank. Same with my car that has dropped 2-3mpg on most journeys as well same every year. Cold weather means higher consumption associated with a longer warm up period and thicker oil in essence higher friction that has to be overcome. Even your tyres loose 1-2psi for every drop of 10 degrees.

Cool. Wont bother getting the tools out then 

Im about the same, used to get thro Mon-Thurs then fill up on a Friday,seems now that im almost filling twice a week sometimes. Roll on spring.

Generally, the colder it is, the lower the mileage (at least on the bikes with carbs). Mine's holding up really well so far, but we've had a mild winter.  ;)
