We've got an 09 Escape Hybrid and I have noticed that on mornings below 30deg we take a disturbingly huge fuel economy hit during the vehicles warm up stratagy.

On our 6 mile morning commute to work we get...
34 MPG at 50 - 70 deg
32 MPG at 35 - 50 deg
27 MPG at 27 - 35 deg
Haven't driven in temps below 27 yet but winters not fully here yet.
