i think i've told you before that my Honda Civic hybrid does similarly less well on gas mileage in the winter. it was explained to me that since the engine runs hot, it takes a lot longer to warm up and run efficiently in the winter. thus, i have improved my winter gas mileage (slightly) by trying to combine errands and keep engine warm longer. still, it seems your Prius does better in general than this 2006 Honda Civic that i have now (the 2004 got better gas mileage than the 2006, leading me to wonder why the redesign). i'm getting an average of 48 (i think; i just checked, i should remember!) over the last 40K. i'm just over 150K now.
