Cold air vs warm air

RE: Cold air vs warm air
Wrong,wrong,all wrong.The reasons our cars get worse mileage in cold weather are,it takes longer for them to get to operating temperature in cold climates,the denser air creates more drag on the outside of the car,and driving through water,snow,and slop,creates more drag on the tires.(Remember the last time you drove through a puddle in the road,you can feel the car slow down.)You will get better performance in cold weather because of the denser air but the ECM will set the fuel air mixture at the same value as hotter times of the year.This way you get more air and also more fuel.

RE: Cold air vs warm air
while we are on the subjuct how does the cai thing work. I thought metal conducted heat and rubber or plastic absorbed it so shouldnt metal keep the air hot when it goes through the metal cai pipe
