That substance is the refrigerant gas in the circuit, which performs a cycle that is repeated continuously when the air conditioner is activated,&#8221; they point out in the article.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Does consumption increase with the window open?<\/h2>\n<p>Although the common belief is that consumption increases with the window open, this will depend on the speed at which the car is moving. <strong>With the air conditioning on, consumption will be practically the same regardless of the speed<\/strong>, however, if we drive with the windows down, the aerodynamics of the car worsens, and this slows down the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>This effort translates into greater consumption by the vehicle when moving the wheels.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it&#8217;s important to consider the speed at which you&#8217;re driving, as <strong>aerodynamics won&#8217;t be the same when driving at lower speeds.<\/strong> It&#8217;s advisable, from 80\/90 kilometers per hour onwards, to turn on the air conditioning and close the windows to consume less.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve lower consumption, it&#8217;s advisable to follow some tips, as mentioned below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-summary\">\n<div class=\"desvio-taxonomy js-desvio-taxonomy\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Tips for saving with the air conditioning on<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Park the car in the shade whenever possible.<\/li>\n<li>Use a sunshade to prevent overheating.<\/li>\n<li>Set the air conditioning between 22 and 24 degrees.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t close the windows completely.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Clean air filters.<\/li>\n<li>Open windows during the first moments of the trip to expel hot air.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct the vents upwards.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Recirculate the air.<\/li>\n<li>Allow outside air to enter to reduce consumption.<\/li>\n<li>When exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, turn on the air conditioning to save fuel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the midst of a heatwave, it&#8217;s inevitable to turn on the air conditioning to cool off.
