Does the temperature setting of a car's air conditioning affect fuel consumption?

[DeGrace]

The temperature setting of a car's air conditioning does affect fuel consumption. The lower the temperature is set, the higher the fuel consumption will inevitably be. Setting a higher fan speed also increases fuel consumption, but not as significantly as the temperature setting, which has the greatest impact. Therefore, when using the air conditioning, it is not necessary to set the temperature too low. Adjust it to a level where you feel comfortable and not too hot, and make adjustments as needed rather than setting it once and leaving it unchanged. When driving towards the sun, set the temperature lower, while in the morning or evening, you can set it slightly higher. Factors affecting fuel consumption: The driving habits of the driver, road conditions, the weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, among other factors, all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: Start in a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed; avoid prolonged idling or driving at low speeds; avoid overloading the vehicle and keeping the fuel tank full; avoid using high-viscosity engine oil; try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake.
