Camry hybrids don't like cold weather,
December 31, 2008

"Our '09 Camry hybrid has all the bells and whistles (Almost all are standard), and has actually gotten - on one occasion - 43.7 mpg (38 mpg is more usual). The one really annoying thing, however, is cold weather mileage. I actually thought one or two battery cells had died, but when I took it in to Toyota, they said everything tested fine - it was the cold weather that had done us in. Traction battery efficiency declines with the temperature, and is totally inoperative at -50 degrees farenheit. And there's the rub: who can you go to to dispute what Toyota says? They're the only ones with the equipment to test their proprietary systems."
