Does turning on the air conditioning in a car consume more fuel?

Turning on the air conditioning in a car does consume more fuel because it utilizes the engine's power. Here are some tips to save fuel while using the air conditioning: Not utilizing the car's internal and external circulation functions properly: For example, during summer driving, prolonged driving will significantly reduce the air quality inside the car. However, opening the windows to ventilate while the air conditioning is on increases the cooling pressure, leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to use the external circulation to refresh the air. However, the external circulation should not be left on continuously, as this will also cause the cold air inside the car to escape. Adjusting the angle of the air conditioning vents: Cold air tends to sink in the atmosphere, so the optimal angle for the air conditioning vents is to direct them upwards. This helps to quickly lower the temperature inside the car. Clearing the vents: If the vents are blocked by debris or foreign objects, airflow will be affected, reducing cooling efficiency. Without realizing this, drivers may turn up the air conditioning, naturally increasing fuel consumption. Regularly inspect and clean the car's air conditioning vents to ensure they are not blocked.
