Interesting to note; My motorcycle gets upward of 38-40 mpg during the summer (ridden aggressively). Yet once it starts getting cooler/colder (40's/50's), my mpg can drop to low 30's and even upper 20's (not ridden so aggressively). Depending on how the vehicle is tuned, some engines are more/less efficient during warmer ambient temps.

ymmv (literally).
I think it may have to do with the fueling for low temps, engine is richer when at lower temp, takes longer to warm up.
