Does car air conditioning consume fuel when heating without AC?

Car air conditioning does not consume fuel when heating without AC, because the warm air comes from the heat of the engine. The AC button controls the switch of the air conditioning compressor. As long as the air conditioning compressor is not working, it will not additionally increase fuel consumption. The reasons why cars consume more fuel in winter than in summer are as follows: In winter, the low temperature severely affects engine operation. The optimal temperature for the engine is 90 degrees Celsius, at which fuel consumption is normal. However, in winter, it takes a long time for the engine to reach 90 degrees Celsius, which correspondingly consumes more fuel. Winter affects engine oil. Even if the oil is antifreeze, it becomes viscous in cold weather. Once the oil becomes viscous, it affects engine performance. How to save fuel when driving in winter: "Warm up" the car before driving. The most important factor for increased fuel consumption in winter is the low temperature. Warm up the car in place for half a minute, then drive at low speed for a while until the engine temperature reaches the optimal state, and then you can drive normally. Be careful not to "idle" the car in place to warm it up, as this not only increases fuel consumption but also damages the car.
