How much fuel is consumed by running the AC for one hour?
1 Answers
Running the AC typically consumes approximately 0.8L of fuel per hour. Below are some tips for using car air conditioning efficiently: 1. Ventilate before turning on the AC: After the car has been exposed to prolonged sunlight, open all four doors and the sunroof for about 3 minutes to allow air circulation. This helps quickly lower the interior temperature, making the AC more effective when turned on. 2. Use the recirculation mode wisely: Recirculation mode blocks outside hot air, creating a closed space inside the car, which allows the AC to cool the air more efficiently. Once the interior temperature has dropped, it's recommended to switch to fresh air mode every 30 minutes for about 5 minutes to refresh the air inside, then switch back to recirculation. 3. Turn off the AC in advance: Shut off the AC about 5 minutes before parking the car. This not only protects the engine but also saves fuel.
