Does Listening to Music in the Car Consume Fuel?
1 Answers
Listening to music while driving does not consume fuel, and the related explanations are as follows: 1. Reason: This is because the music is powered by the car battery, and once the car is started, the engine generates more electricity than the electrical appliances consume. The excess electricity is returned to the battery for recharging, so the fuel consumption caused by listening to music is negligible. 2. Additional note: Using the air conditioning in the car does consume fuel. The fuel consumption of idling with the air conditioning on is related to the car's displacement and even the engine tuning. Generally, idling with the air conditioning on for about an hour consumes approximately 1-2 liters of fuel, though this may vary with different car models. In fact, the air conditioning can be turned on without starting the car, but it will only blow natural air from the blower, as the air conditioning compressor is driven by the engine and does not work when the car is turned off.
