Do cars take more gas in the summer heat??? I was just noticing how much gas I use not even driving?

Question

I fill up park the car don't drive for a week and 3 gallons have evaporated.

So I'm thinking this is a Blue conspiracy from Al Gore to blame the Redpublicans on the fuel problems.

Only thing is I out smarted Gore and bought stock in Exon Mobile. Oh yeah every drop of gas the blues use going back and forth to their looser job, I'm making money.

Now get out there and drive.

Go big Red Go

Answer 1

No. I think that Algore is stealing some gas at night so he can claim that he is "carbon neutral"

Answer 2

43,
You use more gas in Summer, because it takes more energy to spin the AC compressor. Gas does evaporate quite quickly, but all cars built since about 1975 have evaporative emissions control systems on them. It's a charcoal filled canister that supposedly contains the vapors until you start your car. If it gets hot enough, the canister cannot contain the full volume of all the gas that evaporates.

Answer 3

No, actually they use less. Cold weather makes the engine require more gas. Do have the gas cap on???? Or maybe that big puddle under your car is GAS.
