I’m debating whether I should rearrange my detached garage (not climate controlled) so that I can fit my Maverick inside it. Mostly I’d like to know if it will help the gas mpg due to reducing the extremes of temperatures, which in theory would require less fuel to get engine to normal temp when I start up each morning. Obviously it’s not as good as climate-controlled garage but I figure it has to help buffer the temperature extremes of the lows and highs by at least 15 degrees. Plus the shade will keep the intense sun from heating up the interior. Plus I hear electric battery life will be improved. You guys think it’s significant enough to make it worth it?

There are a number of good reasons to keep your Maverick in out of the weather. MPG is not one of them. I would definitely find her a spot inside.😬
