What is the most fuel-efficient temperature to set the car air conditioning in summer?

Setting the car air conditioning to 26 degrees Celsius in summer is the most fuel-efficient. Directing the vents upward can cool the car quickly: Many friends feel that pointing the air vents directly at themselves makes them feel the coolest, but this actually prevents the overall temperature inside the car from dropping. Since hot air tends to rise and accumulate near the roof, directing the vents upward allows the cold air to rise, which helps lower the cabin temperature more quickly. Once the temperature drops, reducing the fan speed will naturally save fuel. It's best to alternate between recirculation and fresh air modes: When first turning on the air conditioning, start with the fresh air mode to expel stale air from the cabin. After the temperature has dropped, switch to recirculation mode to cool the interior faster. Alternating between these modes not only saves fuel but also enhances the driving experience.
