Driving fuel consumption is high in winter, if you turn on the air conditioner to warm the air
How much does it cost in a month?
Many car owners are reluctant to open the warm air in order to save fuel
But is it really more expensive to turn on the air conditioner and warm air?
Turning on the warm air does not lead to increased fuel consumption
The vehicle's warm air comes from the heat of the engine coolant to heat the air
Heat is channeled into the car by means of a blower
Achieve the purpose of heating up in the car
Therefore, only the use of warm air does not increase fuel consumption
Occasionally, however, the interior of the car needs to be dehumidified while it is heated
At this point, the air conditioning compressor will operate and generate fuel consumption
However, this way of opening the warm air may consume fuel
In principle, turning on the warm air does not increase fuel consumption
That's why it happens in everyday life
What about the increase in fuel consumption after the warm air is turned on
That may be due to your wrong way of opening the warm air
Due to the low ambient temperature in winter, the engine warm-up time is extended
If you get on the car and start up, turn on the warm air immediately
At this time, the heat generated by the engine is not enough to meet the needs of warm air
And in order to reach the operating temperature
The engine had to increase the amount of fuel injected
This results in increased fuel consumption
The right thing to do is
Start warm-up for 3-5 minutes
Wait for the engine to heat up or observe the water temperature monitoring expressed to the middle
Turn on the warm air again
Sum up
In winter, the warm air is operated according to the above method
It's not going to cost more fuel
Feel free to use the warm air boldly
Let the warmth accompany you and enjoy the travel life
