Does Refueling in Summer Cost Less Than in Winter?
1 Answers
Refueling in summer costs less than in winter. Here are some explanations about refueling in summer and winter: 1. Reasons for consuming more fuel in winter: Cold starts consume more fuel. During winter, the coolant temperature is much lower than in summer. During the time it takes for the engine to reach normal operating temperature, the coolant absorbs more energy, requiring more fuel to compensate. Prolonged warm-up times also contribute to higher fuel consumption, as fuel efficiency during warm-up is much lower than during normal driving. This is one reason for increased fuel consumption, and incorrect warm-up methods can further exacerbate the issue. 2. Factors that increase fuel consumption: Poor tire maintenance can lead to higher fuel consumption. Wider tires have a larger contact area with the road, increasing friction and resistance. Severely worn tires may also cause more slippage, indirectly increasing friction and resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.
