Traditional wisdom says that the cooler it gets outside, the worse our fuel mileages are. My question to all of you is: What if the extended warm up times are taken out of the equation? Our cars will be warmed up before we start this event. Can we possibly get the big mpg numbers in November?

Racers know that cooler air enables an engine to make more power. Does cooler air help mileage as well?
