Its been floating around online and the news that the oil companies changes their formula. Not sure what the difference might be, but they do change it for different seasons.

In the summer the air that goes into your engine is significantly hotter than in the winter. The colder the air the more dense, since the air is more dense then you technically get more power. Our cars do have a AIT sensor so it would make sense that in the winter the car uses less gas.

Nope, disconnecting the IAT will cause shitty idle.
