Still two hundred degrees, operating temperature is the same
everywhere. Imagine the airline industry, if they just cruised from
passenger ramp and took off, a few have and dropped out of the sky.

But most of the FI vehicles are not running air intake at some resonable
temp like the mid 60's to mid 80's engines do. My carb vehicles run
exactly the same gas mileage on a long trip in winter and summer. FI
vehicles take significantly more gas in extreme cold. Something is differnt.

Colder air is denser and the ecu will increase fuel to keep a proper ratio.
Carbs can't do that. FI vehicles almost never have heat risers like a carb
does because they arn't as suceptable to icing. That's where having an intake
under the hood in cold weather is better than sucking in outside air. A friend
of mine uses a hot air system from an old pickup and plumbed the existing
air box with it.
