Even though it's hot inside my car, I Don't turn the air conditioning on full blast at startup. This is also eco-driving ! I prefer to open the windows wide if I've already started or open all the doors of the car wide if I'm still stationary.
In addition, the air conditioning is not very useful at start-up because it only takes effect after a certain period of time.
After starting, during the engine warm-up phase, the consumption generated by the air conditioning is even higher.
Intensive use of the air conditioning at start-up for a short trip will lead to overconsumption of up to 40%.
With this eco-driving tip , I make significant savings on my fuel budget.
The less I use the air conditioning, the less fuel I consume, the more I save! It's mechanical.
