I say "false" to all of the above. But for #3, it could be highly dependant on the vintage of the vehicle in question.

K, I'll bite;
1. F, 12 volts is still turning the engine over
2. T, less air in the tank to condensate
3. T, I'd rather run a warm vintage in -20 F temps than a cold one. New cars this is not the case.
4. T, the key word here is "may". If your engine doesn't have a t-stat installed, then it won't warm properly and you'd better install a new one.
5. F, if this were to be true then an 18-wheeler would stop really fast.Comment

Trivia Question
Sorry, Gals & Guys! I have been busy working fer ya! Here are the questions again and the answers and source. I do not think anyone got it 100% correct.
Answers:
1. (F) If the battery can turn the engine, the problem is elsewhere. The car generally requires diagnostic services.
2. (T) In cold weather, moisture in air tends to form inside the gas tank. The more gas in the tank, the less space for air, helping to prevent moisture.
3. (F) About a minute should be enough. After that, drive conservatively until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. 4. (T) The engine is your heat source. If a malfunctioning thermostat causes the engine to run too cold, you'll be cold, too. Also, a cold running engine burns more gas and increases exhaust emissions.
5. (F) Four-wheel drive helps when starting out and accelerating, but on any type of surface it's good brakes on all four wheels that helps you stop safely.
