Default MPG Loss When Startup

Greetings,

I have been noticing that when I turn off the ignition of my new '06 HCH-II, that the MPG reads (for trip B, my current tank) something like 53.9 MPG. But when I start the car up a few hours later (for lunch or to go home) it says something like 49.1 MPG.

Does starting the car make that big of a difference? Is there a good explanation for this?


Thanks,
Shawn
