	Not only do I get only about 15 mpg in my 1979 Rabbit in the winter,
down from 30 during the summer, but the Chilton book warns you that you 
could get as little as 1/2 your normal mileage when the car is cold.  Since I
mostly just drive 15 minutes back and forth to work, this explains it for me.
I also notice than when I take long highway drives so that the car is warmed up
I get my 30 mpg back.  If your driving is under similar conditions, "your
mileage may vary."
