Why do differing climates require different automobile fuels?

Differing climates do not require different automobile fuels. The same type of fuel can be used in all climates. However, the performance of a vehicle may be affected by the climate in which it is operated. For example, in cold climates, the engine may need to work harder to start and maintain a warm operating temperature. This can result in reduced fuel efficiency and increased emissions. In hot climates, the engine may overheat, which can cause damage to the engine and other components. To mitigate these effects, some vehicles may be equipped with special features, such as a cold-weather starting system or a radiator that is larger than the one installed in a vehicle that is intended for use in a warm climate.
