Prius
Jane in NC - your post about your drop in fuel efficiency piqued my interest, so I Googled it. Apparently 20% to 40% drop in really cold weather, like we've been having, is normal for Prius and any car. The same basic answer is on several sites and discussion boards. The gas engine has to run more to create the heat for defroster and interior. I drive a Toyota product and have had noticed a couple MPG less in the past couple weeks. My car is kept in a garage and I haven't driven much, so it might be worse if I parked outdoors and had a lot of hills.
