Gas mileage absolutely sucks in the winter with the extra idling.
170 miles and it was empty enough to take 20 gallons!

Remember, you're also going to get the "winter blend" of gas. NOT sure exactly what that means, but gas mileage ALWAYS goes to hell in a hand bag in winter !!!!!!
 
Basic Maintenance helps too, Filters, Fluids, plugs wires. Everyone says they are all new or ok, Yep, Not the case.
 
Clean - spray the Mas Air Flow meter. It may be gummed up or a wire sensor is broken. As rich as it is, you're either running a bad maf or you have a vacuum leak in the intake manifold my best guess
