Does a car consume more fuel in cold weather than in hot weather?

[VonLandon]

Vehicles consume more fuel in cold weather than in hot weather. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. It is normal for a vehicle to have slightly higher fuel consumption in winter than in summer: Pay attention to vehicle usage and proper maintenance, and fuel consumption can be stabilized within a controllable range. 2. One of the main reasons for higher fuel consumption in winter: The temperature causes a decrease in the thermal efficiency of gasoline. Generally speaking, the engine needs to maintain a normal operating temperature environment, roughly between 80°C and 90°C. If the temperature is too high, the engine's cooling system will automatically increase the water circulation speed of the cooling system to enhance heat dissipation and remove excess heat; conversely, it will reduce the circulation speed of the cooling water to maintain the necessary temperature.
