How much more fuel does using air conditioning in summer consume compared to usual?

[RhettLynn]

Using air conditioning in summer consumes about 2 more units of fuel compared to usual. This is because the engine operates under load once the air conditioning compressor is activated. Main factors affecting fuel consumption: Unnecessary increase in vehicle load. Many new car owners tend to pile on various decorations and exterior accessories all at once. Blindly installing body kits, spoilers, winches, and roof racks can also increase the vehicle's fuel consumption. Frequent braking and starting: Apart from the car's design and engine factors, the real waste of fuel comes from the driver's habits. Frequent sudden braking and rapid acceleration are the biggest causes of increased fuel consumption. An experiment once showed that the same car driven by different drivers resulted in the novice driver's fuel consumption being twice as high as that of the experienced driver. This demonstrates how important good driving habits are for saving fuel.
