HOW DOES HOT WEATHER Affect Gas Mileage In Audi?
According to a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy, hot weather has a positive impact on the fuel economy of your vehicle.
Air expands when it warms. Thus, it causes less aerodynamic drag than cold air.
Less aerodynamic drag means less fuel consumption and better gas mileage.
Moreover, use of summer blend gasoline have positive influence on the fuel economy of your Audi.
Summer blend fuel has 1.7% more energy which could help you to save money on fuel during hot weather.
Besides, the engine could easily reach its normal operating temperature during the summer and thus consumes less fuel.
However, there are certain negative impacts of hot weather on the fuel economy of your Audi.
Air conditioning system
It has been found that Air conditioning system could negatively affect the rate of fuel consumption in your Audi.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, use of AC could reduce the fuel economy of a vehicle by 25%.
Leaving the windows open while driving could also negatively affect the gas mileage of your Audi.
Wind resistance increases due to opened windows, so does the fuel consumption.
Loss of fuel due to evaporation increases during the summer months.
So, keep the fuel tank airtight and park your Audi in the shade to minimize fuel loss due to evaporation.
Hot weather has a positive influence on the fuel economy of your vehicle.
But, you have to be much more careful to save extra money on fuel.
