Okay, I'm sure I'm missing something. Living in Texas, we don't see a whole lot of sustained cold temperatures, so I've not notice this phenomenon. But colder air is denser which aids combustion. That's the whole point of a cold air-intake. Shouldn't colder ambient air temps result in improved fuel efficiency? What's happening here?
