Does driving a van with air conditioning consume more fuel?
1 Answers
Driving a van with the air conditioning on definitely consumes more fuel than driving without it. Here are some related tips for using air conditioning: 1. Temperature: Do not set the air conditioning temperature too low. In summer, many car owners prefer to set the temperature very low, thinking it is more comfortable. However, this is a misconception because a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car can easily cause the driver to catch a cold. Additionally, excessively low temperatures may increase the risk of arthritis for passengers. Normally, the temperature inside the car should be 5°C to 6°C different from the outside temperature. 2. Air vent direction: Control the direction of the air vents. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, when using the air conditioning, car owners can follow the guideline of directing the vents upward when cooling and downward when heating.
