As innnnnnnnnnn! I'm always shocked how people believe that AC consumes more fuel. Driving your car with the windows down actually consumes more fuel than with the windows up and AC on. Poverty na bad thing
I've thought about this before, the wind entering the car kinda drags the car backwards, giving the engine more work to pull the car forward. But using A/C still consumes fuel, I don't just know which one consumes more.

Unless the rain is heavy, to have clear vision, I may drive the car with AC for a while and turn it off.

You don't have to turn on the AC when it rains. You can turn on the fan alone then open the air intake vent so air from outside can enter the cabin. That way, you can maintain even temperature on both sides of the windshield which will keep it clear.

When you turn on the AC in your car, it uses energy from the engine to power the compressor, which compresses the refrigerant gas and circulates it through the AC system. This process requires additional power from the engine, which leads to increased fuel consumption.

Leave the morons with their uneducated rubbish talk. How people can be so stupid is amazing

You can get good ventilation by lowering the driver window and back right window by 50%.
The other 2 windows and sunroof if available should be 100% closed. You won’t need AC while moving & you get better MPG. Do this and thank me later!

Please and please, to save fuel and prolong your engine life, wind up your glasses and use the AC. It has nothing to do with fuel consumption. Infact, not using it is the one that waste your fuel because the aerodynamic pressure will cause a drag and you will need to apply more throttle for your car to move which means more fuel pumped into the combustion chamber.
It's a misconception, cars are actually meant to be driven with the AC on (for hot weather) and heater on (for cold weather)

What’s the difference between fuel(British English)and gas(American English)?

Using a vehicle's air-conditioning system increases its fuel consumption more than any other auxiliary feature. An air-conditioning (a/c) system can increase fuel consumption by up to 20% because of the extra load on the engine

U don't know what u are typing.
The more load (e.g AC) an engine carries, the more fuel it will consume.

nairaland has never been a forum to expect intelligent feedback on any topic.

They either typically make a joke of serious matters or pour out their ignorance as fact.

And no insult intended, but Nairaland is peopled by the most ignorant of Nigerians who read nothing else but Nairaland comment feeds.

That's not true. V8-V12 are not for the middle class, no one drives V8-V12 by opportunity.
Re: Do You Still Drive Your Car With AC? by WantsandMore: 7:10am On Jul 21, 2023
Your car's air conditioner draws power from the engine to operate, forcing it to use more fuel, impacting your car's fuel efficiency.

The most popular SUV in the streets of Abuja now is the Lexus GX460.

It's a V8.

I sold one last week.

Ac consumes more full once on that's it.
Re: Do You Still Drive Your Car With AC? by antibullshit: 7:40am On Jul 21, 2023
Car ac does not use petrol. It uses gas for cooling and the belt of the ac motor is attached to the car engine by a cog which runs it while the engine runs. How will that consume petrol when no petrol goes to the ac? On the other hand driving with your windows up while doing 50kph or more actually saves petrol because there's more drag.
