Gotcha, thank you sir. So the "thick cold air" actually acts as continually resistance against the car, versus warmer air?

From my limited readings here/stufy of hypermiling, I just assumed that the ONLY reason winter weather was effecting hypermilers was b/c it took the car longer to warm up and, thusly, get into open loop. But that's only part of it, huh?
