[Phys-l] Hybrid mileage



A colleague asked me why it is that she consistently gets 6-8 mpg less in the winter than summer with her Prius Hybrid. Her mechanic said that that was "normal," but gave no explanation. Nor can I. She said that she uses the heater in the winter about as much as the air conditioner in the summer.

Ideas?
