eli5:Why do cars consume more fuel in cold weather?

352 views

I noticed my car burns more fuel in winter. I don’t use the heater or Air Con. So all being equal why more fuel? Is it something to do with Oxygen density in cold weather? If so, please explain 🙂

in the cold weather tires loose some air. make sure you drive with the correct tire pressure. driving with lower pressures will impact fuel comsumption.
