The air has some to do with it, the rest is the grease in the wheels, tranny fluid, everything gets thicker and causes more drag. The engines run a little rich when it is cold out to make a little more heat too. That is why you don't have to put cardboard in front of the radiators anymore, unlike the old days of carbs.
