winter fuel consumption

Sure, if you drive on racing summers and get not much snow.  My winters are
same size as summers, only much softer and have higher rolling resistance.
This year here in western Canada we got a loooot of snow and spinning wheels
is often a necessity to get anywhere, even turning off anti-slip control
(even more wheel spinning) is the only way to get up some inclines.  My Jeep
XJ with winter Toyo's rarely spins a wheel but its mileage's not good at all
times.
