Does calculated reference consumption take temperature into account?

Does the calculated reference consumption include a correction for temperature?

Mine is now 131Wh/km @110km/hr. Is that at 20 degrees celsius or at the average temperature last few weeks?

I have the same question. My issue is that I am guessing if there is a kind of "double accounting" of the effect of low temperatures when planning winter trips.

Let me explain:

I set "winter tyre configuration" to separate summer/winter configuration.

the calibrated reference consuption increases (obviously), but I do not know if it increases only because of the winter tyres or also because of lower temperatures.

in the latter case, when planning at low temperatures, I suspect that ABRP would consider low temperatures twice: one because of the road conditions that influence the air drag, and two because the calibrated consumption is higher because of the low temperatures.

Thanks for explaining if possible

I have the same feeling.

Is this a bug?

Any official statement?

I am also interested in the answer. 

Also when connecting to live data, the reference consumption and outside temp is updated by the car data. How is this taken in account?

I also have this question. If it doesn’t it will be highly inaccurate in colder months.

Calculations do take temperature and general weather into account, if you've turned it on on (weather forecast or season weather) in "Road Conditions" My guess is reference consumption should be at 20 celcius.

You can test this by changing the date of departure on your trip between a date in the summer and a date in the winter. Then you will see the avg consumption changes either in the spreadsheet at the bottom left or if you press the overview of hours in the top of the route description
