I've noticed several climatic situations where stuff worked better.
At our Deere dealership - we had a fleet of rental diesel tractors. All sat outside, and none had block heaters. We had a few odd days where it could be near zero degrees and just about all would start right up - with no ether. Most other days it would have to be over 30 degrees F - along with ether in some. I always wondered if it had something to do with moisture, atmospheric pressure, etc. Whatever it was or is - I don't know. It still happens with my own stuff at times.
One other situation - my 65 Chevelle SS. If driven real easy, it can get around 16 MPG. 327, Holley 600 carb, Crane mild cam, headers, Muncie four-speed, etc. Once, we were coming home on a 150 mile trip and it was a cold dense fog and light rain the whole way. Just about cold enough to freeze, but not quite. The fog was so dense the air WAS a sort of suspended rain. We got 21 MPG on that trip - and I can't account for it. Normally, I'd never drive that car in weather like that - so I've never had a repeat.
