A huge factor. In cities like Multan, Hyderabad, o r Bahawalpur, where temperatures cross 40°C:

AC compressor runs almost constantly, putting extra load on the engine

Increases fuel consumption by 10–20%, depending on driving style

Smaller engines like in Kalam are more sensitive to AC load, so owners will notice a clear in mileage during summer.
