Fuel Consumption
Yes, it can do.
Hot weather on its own does not always increase fuel consumption, but the way we drive in summer does. Air conditioning, heavier traffic and carrying extra weight all make the engine work harder, which means more fuel is used.
So while the temperature plays a part, it is usually those combined factors that make the biggest difference.
