Gee Jason, I sure am glad we all have you around to educate us about getting better fuel mileage by using hot air.

I'm sure that everyone will go out and tear their factory cold air intakes off, and reroute the incoming air from the hottest part of the engine compartment.
That way we can all get a 23.35% improvement.

Either that, or everyone should simply wait until the outside temp is above 100 degrees.

Hmm....hey wait a minute, maybe that's why your mileage is so much better in the summer, ya think?

Let's see, when the weather is above 100 degrees...the engine spends very little time getting up to temp..that would save gas...the transmission fluid would flow easier, and it would be easier to turn, so it would use less HP...and that would save gas...and the wheel bearing grease wouldn't be so stiff, so they would turn easier too...hmmm.....maybe your empirical data (lol) needs a little bit of tweaking.

Either that, or perhaps you might want to ask your mommy what the word empirical means.
On second thought, maybe you better not bother her, and go look it up yourself.

BTW Jason, we all love you here.
You have been a never ending source of amusement, and have managed to actually bring one engineer to tears of laughter.

And for that, I must thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It was good to see people with smiles on their faces after reading your posts.
Please keep up the good work, and when you discover another good way to increase gas mileage, let us know right away.

Everyone could use a good laugh now and then, even you.
