Why does my Vauxhall Mokka's fuel economy decrease in cold weather?

I have noticed that my Vauxhall Mokka's fuel economy seems to be worse in colder weather. Is this a common issue with this car? Is there anything I can do to improve the fuel efficiency in the winter?

Yes, it is common for fuel economy to decrease in colder weather. This is because the cold temperatures can cause the engine to take longer to warm up, resulting in increased fuel consumption.

To improve your fuel efficiency in the winter, make sure you are using the correct grade of fuel recommended for your Vauxhall Mokka. Also, try to limit your use of the heater and other electrical components while driving to reduce the strain on the engine.

Keeping your tires properly inflated can also help improve fuel efficiency in cold weather. This will reduce the amount of drag on the car, making it easier for the engine to operate and use less fuel.

Another tip is to use a block heater in extreme cold temperatures. This will preheat your engine before starting, reducing the amount of time it takes for the engine to warm up and increasing fuel efficiency.
