I never cease to be amazed at the quality physics and chemistry lessons
doled out on the various auto groups on a regular basis.

Cold air is MORE dense than warm air, and thus, per unit volume, there is
more oxygen and more combustion power. By temperature alone, an engine
should deliver more power in colder air.

But that means more fuel will be used per mile.
More power just means the motor spins up to a given RPM faster.

Hi,
Cold gasoline does not vaporize as well as when warm. Your phyisics
knowledge is partial as well. When gas does not vaporize, what is cold
or warm is gonna do? It's common konwledge when cold, gas mileage goes
down. Actually one reason cold weather gas is blended differently from
summer time gas. I never cease to be amazed as well.

The original poster wasn't talking about how well the gas vaporized. He
claimed that combustion does not occur as well in colder air, which is
factually incorrect. But, thanks for playing.
