I'm down to 13.3 mpg, yikes! About 3 lower than before. Anyone else with a big drop since it got cold?

Same here. Here in the Midwest they use a 'winterblend' fuel and each year I see about a 3-4 MPG decrease from the norm.....also letting your vehicle idle longer/warm up will take away as well.

Yeah, all my vehicles lose fuel economy with the winter blend fuels.

Here in South Carolina, I'm getting 14.8 on both the meter and calculated. I'm also a big fan of leaving the truck warm 5 mins. plus before placing the little ones on car seats. I drive pretty normal though without stomping on it all the time. That's on the 6.2L.
