Poor Acceleration Performance When Hot
Anyone notice that our car's don't have as great acceleration performance when hot / after having been driven for 30+ minutes?

Hot air is less dense than cold air, this happens on every car. Some are affected more than others though. Also, if you're not running premium fuel, it will certainly make a big difference as temps arm up.

Hmm, doesn't affect my others cars as much; strange.
Otherwise, I only use premium.

I wish I had this problem. It's cold 3/4 of the year where I live...
