My edge evo normally revolves around 15.3-15.8 mpg while cruising, but if I leave the truck running in park, that number will drop dramatically in 5 minutes. Usually down to the 11-12 range, in ten minutes it will be under 10mpg, I've seen it as low as 4mpg (pull up, load some firewood, take off). 15 mpg x 23 gal=354 miles 11mpg x 23gal=253miles. It definatley makes sense that the remote start is hurting overall mileage. Try running a full tank without using the remote start and see if it jumps back above 300 miles a tank, it's worth a try if your that worried about it.
That fuel link is interesting. I'm surprised BP isn't on there. I wasn't aware they had cheap gas. That's where I get 93 OCT for the race bikes. None of the other stations (close) have over 91.
