<VV> Re: Fuel Milage in winter - only minor Corvair

[Shaun]

I'm guessing that colder, denser air would cause the mixture to richen up in an injected engine...
Mr. Burkhart?

  Hi,

   

  I can understand why a carburetored car like a Corvair would have lower mileage in the winter. The choke stays on creating a richer mixture et voila lower mileage - at least while the choke is on.

   

  But,

   

  a)       For a carburetored car after the choke is off and

  b)      for a modern fuel injected car

   

  would there be any difference in mileage between winter and summer, ignoring driving conditions for the moment?

   

  Curious about winter driving.
