I agree about the running poorly when cold, but I think that you do use more gas while warming up (although it is probably easier on the engine).

I am curious if more of you noticed a similar trend from summer to winter and if you found a good explanation or reason for it (other than the air being more dense and causing more drag at highway speeds or the required warmup time).

I am especially interested in other NA owners power numbers with varying temperature.
