Lubricants used in the engine, transmission, and axels thicken during the winter months as a result of which friction within the system increases. So, a vehicle consumes more fuel during the winter months. Moreover, environmental temperature also affects the tire pressure, and driving a vehicle with underinflated tires also affects the fuel economy of your car. Go through this slide to get a better awareness.
