The IAT is used for air fuel ratios at all times. More during initial start up and at WOT. And it measures air inlet temperatures to the engine, not ambient temperatures. If it measures ambient temperatures you could put it on the roof.

Granted it may not make a noticeable difference in fuel mileage since there are so many variables, it should be noted its true function and effects
