It's the cooler, denser air that makes the difference, not the gasoline. Winter blend gas is a little different in spec with more butane added, but you can't tell the difference in how an engine runs from the seat of your pants. However, you will get crappier mileage on winter blend gas.

However, you will get crappier mileage on winter blend gas. In Germany, diesel is much more common as fuel also for cars not only for trucks. But as diesel gets "slushy" at lower temperatures, the gas stations serve so called "winter diesel" during the cold times which freezing point is down to -22 °C (i.e. -7,5 °F). This is mainly achieved by adding a little portion of petrol to the diesel. But I am not aware that in winter times the regular petrol also gets some additives to be "cold resistant".
