A random Trabant.
Chart: Cars waste most of the energy we feed them in fuel. Left: In stop-start city driving, only about 17 percent of the energy in gasoline (green slice) provides useful power to move you down the road. The other 83 percent is wasted (red slices) in the engine, in parasitic losses (in things like the alternator, which makes electricity), and in the drivetrain (between the engine and the wheels). Right: Things are a bit better on the highway, where useful power can nudge up to 25 percent or slightly more. Even so, the bulk of the energy is still wasted.

High temperatures can accelerate the chemical reactions within a car battery, potentially leading to a shorter lifespan. To extend the life of your battery, park in shaded areas when possible and consider using a battery insulator to protect it from extreme heat. Also, avoid frequent short trips that don’t allow the battery to recharge. Park your vehicle in shaded areas when possible, and consider using a battery insulator to minimize exposure to direct sunlight.
$$F_D = \frac\rho A C_D v^2$$
Why? Because water is less compressible than the air/fuel mixture inside. So, when the piston attempts to compress it, all of the cylinders will stop at once.
If water enters your engine it can end up rusting parts out like your differential and then you’re not going anywhere.
