Winter hurts your mpg because the car is open loop until the engine warms up. In the summer, that's really fast. In the winter, you could be driving for several minutes with horrible gas mileage. Idling doesn't really help because it's still open loop and it takes a very long time to get the engine warm when it doesn't have a load.
