Modern cars have intake air temp sensors (IAT). This is used to adjust A/F rations. 2nd many modern cars have a wide band .02 sensor that will also measure and control A/F rations.


The only benifit to cold weather is the cold air helps to cool down the combustion chamber so you might be able to use low octance fuel on cold days.
