From my experience as well as a coworkers with 2012's, it does look like the winter causes at least a 1mpg drop. A big part would be the fuel mix, but factors also include warm up time as well as the engine taking a bit longer to get to optimum running temperature.
It always makes me wonder, people add cold air intakes assuming they get more power. Would this then also mean that with a standard configuration your jeep would have more power in the winter compared to summer? I certainly don't feel that in the seat of my pants.

I just finished my 4" lift with 35x12.5x16 Dick Cepek Mud Country's. also added OR-Fab rock rails and front stubby with grill bar! Love it! Installing the OR-Fab tire carrier in the next few days.
