Today:
Outside temperature: 55 F (12.8 C)
Intake temperature: 98 F (36.7 C)
Delta T: 43 F (23.9 C)
Fuel consumed: 3.04 gallons (11.49 L)
FE: 19.3 MPG (12.2 L/100km)

So, about a 4.4% improvement in fuel economy.

.

statistically, this is about as valid as the results when measuring fuel magnets.

one test. not aba, and you don't even know the temperatures involved.
