Winter is always the best time to enjoy a drive. Ive owned 200sx,wrx and now the XR6T and they all went better on a cold winter night and worse in stop start traffic during summer.

Cold air is great for any car. The difference is quite notable in even a non performance car.

You guys noticing a drop in economy though?
I am guessing with intake temp sensors, it would pump more fuel in with cold air? I could be wrong though.

You'd be pretty right, cold air, dense air. Dense air, more fuel.

Hence why truckies (well, some of the ones I know anyway) like to drive at night, especially in Summer when the air is denser.
Denser air= more fuel AND more efficiency. Not necessarily less economy. Usually the opposite. Especially in Diesels. |
