Relocating IAT sensor?

OK, I found some info. Didn't think I'd find it in this book, but it's
there: Air is a mechanical mixture composed of 78 percent, by
volume, of nitrogen, 21 percent of oxygen, and 1 percent of argon.

Now the good stuff. . .

At atmospheric pressure:

Temp F:    Vol. of 1lb. in ft^3:      Density (lb/ft^3)
0                 11.57                           0.0864
32               12.39                           0.0807
72               13.39                           0.0747
102             14.14                           0.0707

(Machinery's Handbook, 1976, p. 2306).

Can anybody else do something with these numbers. How much
of a change in fuel would be required?

Thanks,

BobR.
