Could be one (or more) things. First, I would consider the SID to be an "estimate" rather than a highly accurate measure. The best way to get an accurate measure is to calulate yourself at each fill up. Second, mileage is generally lower in winter due to longer warm up time to maximum efficiency (esp. true for short distances). Last, winter gasoline decreases mileage if it contains oxygenates. When California introduced MTBE a few years ago for all gasoline, my mileage went down by about 8%. This happens because these compounds contain less energy (per volume) than regular gasoline. (I find it hard to believe that burning more pollutes less...).
