Drastic change I'd say.

Drops like these are expected in the winter. I've gone from 5.5 to 6.5, however other factors that may affect the gas engine running in addition to requiring warm up is the use of accessories like the front/rear defog. A/C compressor runs on the front, and for some reason to power the rear defrost it cycles the engine longer.
