How much fuel does the Emgrand consume when the air conditioning is on?
1 Answers
When the air conditioning is on, the Emgrand consumes approximately 11 to 11.5 liters of fuel, with the air conditioning increasing fuel consumption by roughly 2 liters. Types of fuel consumption with car air conditioning: One occurs while driving. When the car speed is above 80 km/h, using the air conditioning is more fuel-efficient. Below 80 km/h, or when idling, the air conditioning relies solely on the engine, leading to more noticeable fuel consumption. Tips to reduce fuel consumption when using air conditioning: When the engine has just started and hasn't stabilized yet, turn on the external circulation for at least five minutes and open the windows to expel hot air from the car. Once the engine idle stabilizes, turn on the air conditioning—this saves fuel and avoids harming the engine; adjust the airflow direction. Since cold air sinks and hot air rises, point the vents upward to balance the temperature and cool the car more effectively; alternate between turning the air conditioning on and off. At speeds below 80 km/h, open the windows to reduce air conditioning fuel consumption. However, at speeds above 80 km/h, open windows increase wind resistance, consuming more fuel than using the air conditioning; turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine to prevent it from automatically turning on during the next start, which would increase engine load and fuel consumption.
