How Does Cold Weather Affect the Fuel Economy?
Cold weather decreases fuel efficiency by 10-20% due to factors like denser air increasing drag, thicker oil creating friction, and longer engine warm-up times. Additionally, colder temperatures cause tire pressure to drop and can decrease the electric-only range of hybrid and electric vehicles, thereby increasing reliance on the internal combustion engine. Cold weather can have…
