1. Battery - The cold "saps" the battery's ability to hold it's charge - the charge trickles away faster.
I thought NiMH batteries LIKE cold? They'll hold more charge when cold.



For the Hondas, the main difference is the cold engine. Owners have discovered that if they cover the radiators with cardboard, and trap the heat, they'll get summer-like MPGs.
