Are you trying to say that "air temperature has no effect on MPG"???
Because that would be wrong. Wind resistance is the biggest loss at hiway speeds, more so than weight. Now city driving weight is the biggest factor, and not so much wind resistance. There is 2x the air mass per volume at -40 C than at +40 C.
