colder tempatures cause longer warm up times. when an engine is cold, it requires more fuel to maintain a smooth idle and good power. Also cold air is denser, which means that the wind resistance drag on the car is higher. And the rolling resistance of the tires is greater when they are colder, and the roads in some places are more often wet, which also increases rolling resistance.

How many miles per gallon do you get out of a Mazda 6?
Mazda 6 3.0L V6 with 5 speed manual First, the mileage will differ in Summer vs. Winter. From my experience, expect the mileage to differ by from 2-3 mpg. Second, it will differ depending on how you drive. I drive gently, using the full "hammer down" sparingly. In Winter, expect 24-25 mpg. In Summer, 26-28 mpg. This is a mixture of city stop and go and interstate driving. A steady state, 65 mph in Summer will generate 30 mpg.

My 2004 Toyota Prius gets around 42mpg in the Summer and 36mpg in the Winter (Hybids rely on the gas engine to generate heat in the Winter.) If you have a tendency to warm-up your car in the Winter the mpg will be lower. I am sure that this is the same with hybrids in the colder climates.
