How much fuel does idling with AC on consume?
1 Answers
When idling with the engine running and the air conditioning on for about 1 hour, the car consumes approximately 2 liters of fuel. Here are some related points: 1. Engine idling: Engine idling consumes a significant amount of fuel. If the idling is only to power the air conditioning compressor, it wastes even more energy. Long-term operation of the engine at high temperatures may lead to dangerous accumulation of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide inside the vehicle. 2. Precautions when using car air conditioning: Many people occasionally smoke to stay alert while using the car air conditioning. However, smoking with the air conditioning on prevents the smoke from being promptly vented outside, which can harm the eyes and respiratory system.
