Does using air conditioning in the car consume more fuel in summer?

[DeNora]

Yes, using air conditioning in summer consumes approximately 2.24 liters of fuel per hour. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Replace with low rolling resistance tires: Switching to low rolling resistance tires can help save fuel to some extent. 2. Avoid high engine RPM: You can release the throttle to let the vehicle coast when going downhill. 3. Select the correct gear: Avoid unnecessary high-speed operation of the engine. For manual transmission cars, avoid driving at low gear with high speed or high gear with low speed. 4. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking: Both sudden acceleration and braking can lead to excessive fuel consumption. They also cause significant damage to the vehicle, easily leading to excessive carbon buildup in the cylinders, which affects the engine's combustion efficiency and increases fuel consumption. 5. Maintain proper tire pressure: Both too low and too high tire pressure are bad. Too low pressure increases friction resistance and accelerates wear; too high pressure increases the risk of tire blowouts and causes more damage to the shock absorbers.
