I noticed when I drive at night my car can barely do 40mpg. When it's hot out and during the day I get high 40's.

I tried to do the warm air intake on my last car and the mileage actually went down. When I put the stock intake, air filter it went back up to normal.

So what's causing the car to get such good mileage when it's hot out?
