One more thing, since I believe this car was recently parked for a while with
transmission problems:
Is there an overabundance of brake dust on one wheel?
Or, did somebody in the shop apply a parking brake that hadn't been used in
years, and is there a stuck parking brake cable?
Hate to ask the obvious but you've ruled out a fuel leak? Summer fuel
typically has the opposite effect, a few more MPG as they don't blend it for
low gel temperatures.
