Humidity question.

How does humidity (such as in fog) effect the performance of the car? Let's say the car is driving in and out of fog. Will the car have less power in the fog, or more due ot the computer adding more fuel to compensate for the water molecules?

Re: Humidity question.

you will have worse performance, but not really related to the car. humid air has water vapor, and your engine doesnt like water. but also, humid air has less oxygen so you will prolly have reduced performance but get slightly better mpg.

Good axles, but if you ever buy them, have them rebuild your old OEM's since the shafts that go into the differential vary in circumfrance/diameter, so you might get one that is smaller and the space causes pulsating at highway speeds.
