I have always lost 2-3 mpg in winter versus summer.
If you live in a cold weather state...
Colder air is denser for the car to push through.
The engine takes longer to warm up to an efficient temp.
Snow tires have more rolling resistance than summer tires and add more drag.
Winter gas is not as thermally efficient as summer gas.
There's more, but it all adds up. Fact of life.
