Gradual MPG loss...HELP

Re: Gradual MPG loss...HELP
I find it odd that so many get worse mileage in the winter. My mileage goes UP in the winter. This could be due to the oxygenation of the gasoline, which can affect mileage by up to 20%. In the winter, the air is denser, therefor you get MORE air into the combustion chamber, this should increase mileage, not decrease it.

I'm not sure of all the reasons, but my mileage is better on hot days than on cold days.

Colorado Springs. Just got my worst tank, 44.1 All summer I was getting 53-56. Then came snow tires, winter gas & this week @!#$@ snow @#$%@. If cold air hurts gm - why can't the intake be routed around the exhaust to heat it up?
