Re: Cold weather = bad gas mileage?
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.
