Which A/C setting can help save fuel?

[Yoda]

My take on this:

Higher fan setting puts a load on your electrical system.

Higher thermostat setting, compressor runs more.

So alin ang mas magaan, alternator o compressor? Hehe.

Cool it down fast and then put the settings in your preferred mode.....

guys, which aircon setting can help save fuel: low thermostat setting+high fan speed, or high thermostat setting+low fan speed?
TIA.

To answer your question, for cars with thermostat controls only for cooling (w/o heater): The low thermostat+high fan speed setting (mid setting would usually be sufficient) would save fuel vs high thermostat+ low fan speed setting.

But for some cars with thermostat knobs, which controls both cooling and heating settings (which mixes cool and hot air at low thermostat settings), not sure but would expect no more fuel savings at low thermostat settings.

For a few minutes or hours lang of travel titipirin pa natin? My take on this are: kung nabilad? few minutes at no. 2 fan then return it to no. 1 na with thermostat set to desired coolness (1/2 to ¾ max) and kung galing sa garahe, night time or walang araw naman no. 1 fan lang.

Kasi the lower the fan speed the lesser it sucks air (dust and dirt) that passes thru our evaporator so tipid rin sa cleaning

my maximum setting during summer is that the termostat is in 1/2, blowr is at 3, pag may sakay. pag ako lang mag-isa, lower is at #2 initially, tapos binababaan ko to #1.

pag cold months, my thermo is at 10 o'clock, fan is #1. minsan pag sobrang lamig, pinapatay ko na.

i find these settings most efficient for me. of course, depende yan sa condition ng aircon mo.

Huwag nga mag-curtains. Lalo na kung station wagon pa ang lalagyan ng curtains! :hysterical:

Baka isipin ng mga tao, ito ang passenger mo:
