Does gas burn more when it’s hot?

276 viewsOther

So where I live there’s a heat advisory saying it’s 95 but feels like 113. Can gas burn or ‘evaporate’ more when it’s hotter outside. I know it’s supposed to burn in the engine but can it burn up faster when it’s hotter outside?

It “burns” less in hot weather. In most engines, how much air gets in the engine is the limiting factor, most engines are designed to pump in just enough gas to match the amount of air getting sucked in. Since hot air is less dense, that usually means the maximum air the engine can suck in is decreased.
