I have the idea my 2cv uses less fuel in this hot weather could that be correct? Haven't measured yet. :?:

Interesting topic :)

I would have thought it may get richer as the air is less dense! But then again, would less dense air be able to pull the same amount of fuel!

I know fuel injection can compensate for it.

The engine might be quicker on working temp?

Could be. :D

Could be a different driving style as wanting the moment to last on a sunny day! :D

I hope you wear a suitable motorcycle outfit , and not just jeans or shorts and an open shirt.
You should be aware of the risk you take if you do not wear proper clothing .
And if you wear the proper outfit, it can be very hot in this heat. :D :D :D
