It would be easy to verify - by pulling the spark plugs after running in cold weather. Blackened, sooty appearance indicates an over rich condition - likely caused by the cold start mixture staying on.
It's under warranty, 5 years/60,000 miles. I only have 12,000 so far.
5 to 10% difference in mpg at colder temps is normal and acceptable.
Your engine HAS to be running way over rich in mixture. It WILL do damage over time - as it will carbon contaminate the oil.
If they tell you " it' s normal to get 1/4 the mpg in colder weather" get a lawyer. In some states such fuckaround can end up getting you a brand new car......
I know it does in Michigan...
