That my 2 cents

I accidentally had a single-blind test that confirms it for my vehicle...
Under similar weather conditions, an early version of a WAI broke loose and started to inhale cooler air under the front bumper (not freezing cold, but in the 50F-75F range). This was before the SG -- an OBD chip documented the scenario.
It was a couple of weeks before I popped the hood and found the problem. I would like to say that I was accelerating similarly, but I only have incremental speed readings to compare. I filled up and noted the results. With the rough data presented, the conclusion was that the cooler air decreased FE.
YMMV.
