Default Re: Camry Hybrid recoup cost time is now 1.7 years

Do traditional engines decrease their fuel efficiency the same way that the hubrid does?
With a gas engine, in the winter, the engine goes on, you drive and then you turn it off. Pretty much the same as in the spring, no?
I know there might be some change, but not nearly the same as the drop off in hybrids (which, just guessing, can lose 4 or 5 MPG).
Am I off base?
