I've been driving the BYD Song Pro DM-i hybrid for three years now, and I've noticed that using the air conditioning does increase fuel consumption. Normally, without AC, my combined fuel consumption is around 5 liters per 100 kilometers. However, during summer when I need to use the cooling system, it jumps to between 5.5 and 6 liters. In winter, using the heater has a smaller impact, usually around 5.2 to 5.7 liters. The main reason is that the AC compressor requires extra power from the engine, and as soon as it kicks in, fuel consumption rises. In city traffic with AC on, it can be even more noticeable, sometimes reaching 6.5 liters. But I've gotten used to it and find it still within reasonable limits. I try to maintain a steady speed while driving to avoid frequent acceleration, which helps save some fuel even with AC on. Interestingly, on long highway trips without AC, the fuel consumption doesn't decrease much. Ultimately, it varies from person to person depending on driving habits and weather conditions.
