Does the colour (or color (just so people can find this post by searching

) ) of the car affect Fuel Efficiency? It is quite logical that Black absorbs more heat and hence will require more air conditioning to dissipate the heat which in turn translates to more fuel consumption.
I have already made a booking for a black SX4 and after having thought about black's heat absorption capacity, I was wondering if I should change my booking to some other lighter colour (silver or beige, maybe).
Please advise!
