Seems odd, but now that the temps are coming up my mpg seems to be
increasing, by at least 10% if not more.
Just saying.
Have a round on me.

Would have guess the opposite with denser cold air offering better
combustion.

I haven't put much thought into it. I don't tend to let it idle anymore in
the winter than I am now. I did put a new tire on it not too long ago.

Denser air requires more fuel per unit volume of air. A lower air
temp or a higher atmospheric pressure would make the air more
dense.

Yeah, makes sense. Realized that after posting. Better combustion doesn't
mean less fuel.
