Boy we have a long list of things dt affect fuel comsumption beyond AC do u kw dt if u weigh 150kg and i weigh 65kg n we use same car, ur car will consume more fuel. wat i am telling u is dt other things being equal car driven with AC in city will consume more fuel

Yes, a very long list if what causes higher fuel consumptions.

Wen they all playout, At the end , its always proven that weda ur AC is off or not, ur car consumes almost same amount of fuel.

I watched this fact get busted many years ago. I always watched discovery channel, if u watch it, u must have heard about the myth busters...They busted this Myth n u learned it as a child...They used the method I stated.

i hope so

That's serious! I believe the scarcity will be over in a few days.

tonychristopher:
The AC needs mechanical power to turn a compressor (which is very much like a pump). In a home unit, an electric motor drives the compressor. In a car, traditionally, the compressor is driven by a belt which is, in turn, driven by the car's engine. So, the resistance of the compressor is overcome by the engine, which means the engine must burn a little bit more gasoline than it would if the compressor was not being used for the AC.

There's no free lunch here! However, at highway speeds the power required by the AC compressor is less than the extra power required to overcome the extra drag which would be caused by having the car windows open as an alternative to using the AC. I believe that "Click and Clack" has more info. Google will help, too.

(Modern cars may use an electric motor to drive the AC compressor, like a home unit; I don't know, actually. Similarly, the cooling fan of older cars was driven by a belt, whereas newer cars drive the fan with an electric motor. Electric motors, of course, require electrical power, which requires work from the engine, which requires gasoline.)

When you turn the AC on in your car, it uses energy supplied to it by the alternator. This energy is coming from the engine, which is using the fuel in your gas tank. The AC won’t run properly without the car started because the belt that engages the compressor (which is used to compress the coolant and make it cold) will only run with the engine started. This is the same belt that is responsible for running the alternator and charging your battery.


Thank me for the lectures


I cant bring my car for you to even put water in my radiator

your long stories don't change facts. Weda AC us off nor on, the cars consumes same gasoline. Ur stories are old myths that have long been busted.

tonychristopher:
i hope so

It has to be. The suffering is very shameful. I see pains and frustrations wherever I turn. ....

tonychristopher:
give us simple anology and proove...we would apprecaite that #

thank you

Nothing to prove to you, this is a simple fact just give it a try and testify

then you dont have anything to say..why dont you observe


our people say if you dont have anything to say...just blow whitsle




thank you #

pls let u sknow how AC wont consume fuel MR ENGINEER

Yes bros. But the pains seem they won't pass away. No light. No fuel. Primitive conditions.

Absolute RUBBISH... This is why our leaders keep on manipulating us... We made this mistake since 2010 fuel subsidy wahala... Jona would have been sent parking since then but some enemy of the country vote him in..... The only solution I to fuel subsidy is to eject jona sharperly and give buhari our support to deal with all this Bastards... They are suppose to be hanged just like how china and south korea did to eliminate corruption!!!

That is the only way to straighten Nigeria up.

weaseloo:


That is the only way to straighten Nigeria up.

am telling if we keep on adapting to what our leader caused for us they will keep on making it worse for us... They have to be delt with simple!!!

we adopt

and adapt

The only thing I can tell u about manual theories is that I am a certified Mechanical production Engineer.

Keep wallowing in ur arrogant lack of knowledge or get same car models, empty both tanks, top them with 15 litres in the same filling station n with same fuel pumps, On AC on one, off AC on the other (leading to taking down the wind shields) and then drive both cars round n round in a spacious area @ an average speed n watch wen they run out of gas...There is ur answer .


But wait til fuel comes down to 87 before u try it.

Where did you learn your Engineering from?
What the name of the institute?
A certified Mechanical Production Engineer. Engineer by theory and not practical, half baked engineer. You're a huge disgrace to the engineering profession. Because of folks like you I wasn't allowed to study Engineering, yet you studied it and came out to write this balder dash shows I am still miles better than you in your own specialization.
Shame on you. Maybe you bribed your way thru or even picked that certificate from any of the garbage institute under mallam shehu's mango tree behind that 'korroh'.

I need to write an open letter in any of the national dailies to that institute telling them they're producing dunce/dolt.

failed to mention having ur tires adequately pumped

Looooooooool, u did not reach the cut off mark, That was why nu couldn't study engineering.

Back to the topic, after all ur uncontrolled rants, fact remains that u don't save fuel by switching off AC. u don't need to be an engineer to know this, its so simple, use ur car n test it, it wont cost much.

NB - its not too late for u to study engineering.

Don't put off ur car buh change ur gear frm Drive to Neutral..

Neduzze5:
Lolz


11. If you get to a sloppy area, put off your car and allow it to roll down all the way until it can no longer roll!

Hahahahahahahha u are a clown...

Horlufemi:
11. Don't repark for anybody.

Bros he attended oner of the polytechnics that claims they are enginers, HOW CAN AN ENGINEER MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT

No wonder in terms of acr repairs google is my friend bunch of dunce around in terms of engineers in Nigeria and Nairaland



You made him understand how stupid he sounded

How will u close the window and turn off AC

273 in jamb isn't up to cut off mark (Go to Jamb Bwari)?
You are a fool. No wonder with your 'above the cut off marks' you still spew out gibberish.
I'm no engineer but I handle Mechanical engineering well, I handle structural engineering excellently, I handle ICT hardware and software well.

Can same be said of you?
I don't need any engineering certificate if this is the way its gone.

Forgive me bro, I am an extremely st.upid individual and a dunce. I am a wasted idiotic man. My family are Ezi ofia...

I can not put up my windows and still turn off the air condition. The heat is too much, I will suffocate o!

You will not suffocate but you will be grilled just like turkey possibly chicken

jus park ya car and switch to legedez benz

tonychristopher:
lol

how?

Reparking consumes certain amount of petrol. Hope u get it now.

Hello nairalanders,

The use of AC affects fuel consumption. The extent depends on whether one is doing city or highway driving. It increases consumption more when car is driven in the city.

Read about hybrid cars. Toyota hybrid economy mode works by reducing AC output, reducing throttle response.

It depends on the engine design too..... I wouldn't want to go into details of this.

Regards.

Wait ooo, u said u will deal with me decisively and all u can do is ban me for 24 hours, Lol....U be mad man ooooooo.

Like say u fink say I dey fear u, Una de pay me salary, commot road. Taaa, Run away, I no fear u.

For some of you that say you will off your ignition on a free road.just come band try that in my Nissan Serena.by the time u are to applied the brake u will find out the brake is haddening and you can't press it.there by casala son burst.the first time I witness it I beached a military car in my front.thank God say the motor self na military person...
