As soon as summer starts, the use of AC in the car increases. Running AC not only provides coolness inside the car, but it also affects the mileage. This happens because the AC takes power directly from the engine, which puts extra pressure on the engine and consumes more fuel. Many people use AC less for this reason, but if AC is operated properly then you can get both coolness and good mileage. Let us learn the right way to use AC so that the car remains cool and fuel is also used less.
On which number to run AC?
In most of the cars, AC fan speed is given in numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4. In this, 1 is the lowest and 4 is the highest speed. If you always run AC on number 3 or 4, it cools the car quickly, but it puts more load on the engine and increases fuel consumption. The better way is to run the AC on number 1 or 2. At this speed the cabin of the car cools down slowly and there is not much pressure on the engine. Due to this the mileage also remains better. If your car has auto climate control, then it is considered best to keep the temperature between 24 to 26 degrees. Due to this, the AC does not have to work hard and fuel is saved.
Easy ways to increase mileage in summer
By using your car properly in summer, you can improve the mileage to a great extent. If the car is parked in the sun, instead of turning on the AC immediately, open the windows first. Due to this, the hot air inside comes out and later the AC provides cooling quickly. Using recirculation mode while running AC is also beneficial. Due to this, cold air keeps circulating inside again and again and the cabin gets cooled quickly. Also, when there is not much heat, it is better to use only the blower. It is also important to get the AC serviced from time to time. Due to this, cooling remains better and there is no extra pressure on the engine, due to which the mileage remains maintained.
