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.
