ive had my kk for bout a month. Since its starting to get cooler i noticed somethin. When its bout 50deg out the thing feels like it has a ton more power than lets say 70. Any one else notice this ? any explanation? |

the simple answer is that cold air is more dense and allows more oxygen to the engine and will burn the fuel more efficiently. |

mileage will probably drop slightly too. The computer corrects for O2 by adding more fuel to keep the ratio correct. (and it's richer while cold) Also - the higher density air takes more energy to drive through. |
