<VV> Fuel Milage in winter - only minor Corvair

Hi,

 

I can understand why a carburetored car like a Corvair would have lower
mileage in the winter. The choke stays on creating a richer mixture et voila
lower mileage - at least while the choke is on.

 

But,

 

a)       For a carburetored car after the choke is off and

b)      for a modern fuel injected car

 

would there be any difference in mileage between winter and summer, ignoring
driving conditions for the moment?

 

Curious about winter driving.

 

Bob
