Temperature
and humidity certainly affect the air/fuel ratio
and in our racing effort the jetting is set
accordingly.  I find just a ten degree change
will greatly affect the engines performance and
it is not unusual to have to change jets from
morning to afternoon or even in the same morning
at a race.  Another thing that greatly affects
the mileage in the winter is the amount of time the choke
is closed causing a necessarily rivher mixture.
If you are doing mostly short hop driving of just
a few miles I have seen drastic reductions in fuel
mileage between summer and winter.  Driving six
miles to work I have seen 30% drops in the winter
in my old gas guzzler!
