It should be more fun in the cold. My car feels like a whole different car in the cold.

I think he's talking about the gas not the air. They put different additives in the mix in the winter up north.

Winter blend fuel is oxgenated more than the summer blend. In other words, winter blend pump gas produces a leaner mixture.
