Air conditioning and gas??

Question

Okay I love to blast my AC in my vehicle on full blast at the coolest level. Is this the reason my gas doesn't last very long?

If I put it on a less cool level, but still blast it at full pressure does this make a difference. Thanks!

Answer 1

The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will need to run and the more gas it will use. The average a/c unit takes the equivalent of 5 hp from the engine. With the a/c on, the compressor will cycle on for 3-4 minutes, off for 1 regardless of the temp setting. Once the cabin temp is reached, the compressor will not come back on until the inside temp goes up by 2 degrees. If you want to save gas, roll down the windows with the a/c off if you are driving under 60k / 40 mph. Over these speeds, it is more fuel efficient to run the a/c since, with the windows up, reduces the wind drag on the car.

Answer 2

you may examine the place is the return on that domicile (propose the place the equipment gets the air) in some residences it particularly is on the storage. if it quite is the case you may look for any chemical product like Ants poison or paint cans gasoline cans , etc. here in Florida a lot of human beings would not understand that the clean air that enters the domicile comes from the Air coping with unit it particularly is frequently placed interior the storage and it will suck in all those scent produced by way of each and every of the chemical compounds the shop on it.

Answer 3

yes it will run your gas down, especially if you have a small engine. The compressor draws power and makes the engine work harder and run higher rmps. The level of cold won't make much difference.

Answer 4

No, if you turn off the AC and roll down the windows you will use more gas.

Answer 5

run the air and be cool --- there is no appreciable difference to a/c or no a/c ..... when you are cool you tend to make the drive longer and that is what uses more gas ......period .....

Answer 6

cause it uses gas to run it
