However, like most mechanisms in our cars, the AC uses fuel to run.

As the refrigerant changes, it absorbs heat and humidity in your car while circulating cool, dry air. This process involves multiple different components, including:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The compressor:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> creates cool air by compressing the refrigerant into a fluid and moving it to the condenser.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The condenser:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> lowers the temperatures and pressure of the hot gasses coming off the cooling refrigerant and moves the liquid to the next step.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The receiver\/dryer:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> separates gas from liquid, prevents liquid from entering the compressor, and filters moisture and contaminants out of the air to protect the AC system.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The expansion valve or orifice tube:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> monitors the temperature and pressure of your AC system and calculates the exact amount of refrigerant to put into the evaporator.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The evaporator:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> circulates the air through the refrigerant before it <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/keep-car-cool-in-summer\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">cools off your car<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-using-the-ac-waste-gas-decrease-efficiency\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Does Using the AC Waste Gas\/Decrease Efficiency?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Since your AC draws energy from the alternator, which is powered by your car\u2019s engine, your AC uses fuel. That\u2019s why your AC doesn\u2019t work while your car is turned off. Since your AC uses fuel, many people assume that turning on the AC when it&#8217;s hot decreases fuel efficiency, or the distance your car can travel on one tank of gas. However, this isn\u2019t the case in every situation; there are times when using your AC can be efficient. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-should-i-use-my-ac-nbsp\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">When Should I Use My AC?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Using your AC while you\u2019re doing a lot of stop-and-go driving or sitting in traffic can eat up your gas and decrease fuel economy. Conversely, if you\u2019re driving freely on the highway, it may be more efficient to use your AC as needed. In general, experts recommend using less AC if you\u2019re sitting in heavy traffic, but feel free to use that AC when you\u2019re on the open road (going the speed limit, of course). If you\u2019re still concerned about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/spend-less-on-gas\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">fuel economy<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, check out our blog post and learn how to stretch that tank of gas.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-leaving-my-windows-down-better-than-using-ac\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Is Leaving My Windows Down Better Than Using AC?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">While leaving your windows open instead of using your AC seems like a smart way to increase fuel efficiency, open windows put a drag on your car, make it less aerodynamic, and cause it to use more gas. In this case, it\u2019s better to keep the windows closed and opt for the AC instead, especially if you\u2019re driving at a moderate-to-high speed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now that you know how to use your AC mindfully, you can keep your car cool for the rest of the summer.
