How much fuel is consumed when idling with the air conditioning on for an hour?
1 Answers
When the car is stationary with the air conditioning on for an hour, it typically consumes fuel worth approximately 4-5 RMB. Detailed explanation: Taking the 1.5 Fengxing 330 as an example, the actual fuel consumption is at least 9 liters per 100 kilometers. In urban areas with air conditioning, the consumption varies around 10 liters depending on driving habits. If driving in the city with the air conditioning on for an hour, the cost would be around 35 RMB. Additional information: Methods for maintaining car air conditioning: 1. Comprehensive inspection of the air conditioning system: Before first use in summer, inspect the air conditioning system, such as checking the refrigerant and whether the air filter is dirty via the reservoir, and if there are any foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to cleaning the air conditioning: Some beginners only think about cleaning the air conditioning when its performance deteriorates, which is incorrect. The air filter should be replaced regularly, especially since Beijing's spring has a lot of sand and willow catkins, which can stick to the filter and breed bacteria, causing a musty smell. Therefore, it's best to replace the filter once every year after spring. 3. Do not turn off the air conditioning immediately after parking: After reaching the destination, most owners turn off the air conditioning and leave immediately. Unlike in autumn and winter, the significant temperature difference between inside and outside the car in hot summer can cause the air conditioning system to become moldy and breed mold.
