Does <0 Freezing Temps Affect Gas Mileage?

Try blocking a good portion of the rad with cardboard or something. Sounds ghetto, I know, but -20 C is what I consider to be ghetto anyways.
People do it all the time up here. Only takes a few minutes, and you might notice a difference instantly.

I Had a tracker that would never heat up from November to March it seemed like. So I cut out a piece of carboard that was roughly 40% of the radiators size. I put the carboard infront of the radiator to obstruct it. All I had to do was watch the temp gauge closer and Shazaam warmth!

It's not like I am running 25psi in a turbo without knowing if I have enough fuel, and it seems like I do know if my car is getting the same gas mileage, if its running the same, and getting as hot...so I seem to know a bit...
I dunno, whatever.
I'll try the cardboard thing if it keeps up, the temps are back above 0 now.
Thanks fellas

That's a pretty bold statement considering I just don't know what sort of Mix is going on in my Daily Driver.
