Among the many factors that affect the fuel economy of your vehicle is the temperature and the weather. Your fuel economy depends on many factors such as what time of the day you are driving in and the season. It is important to know how to handle your vehicle at different times of the year.
When it comes to colder weather, the fuel economy is going to be lower. It takes extra fuel for the vehicle to reach the ideal temperature. There is also a lot more friction in the engine because of the cold engine oil. One thing you can do is park in a warmer place. If the fuel economy is lower in the winter, then it is potentially higher in the summer because everything is already warm. However, air conditioning can have an effect on the fuel. Therefore, reduce the use of air conditioning to save fuel.
