Question 5156
Does running the vehicle's air conditioning or climate control increase fuel consumption?
- It only increases fuel consumption if it is set above 30 degrees Celsius.
- Yes, so it should be used sensibly.
- No, having the climate control on does not affect fuel consumption.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, so it should be used sensibly.
Yes. Air conditioning increases fuel consumption by about 10% to 20%, so use it only when needed. Inside the car, 23 or 24 degrees is enough.
