I also had no idea about mileage loss in colder climates.
I went from around 35 mpg in 50-60+ degree environments, to about 26 mpg in 10-20 degree environments.
However some of this will depend on your commute as your battery will eventually "warm-up". I have a 30 minute commute and by the time I get near my destination the hybrid battery works better than at the beginning.
