I took a trip to Miami on Sunday and filled the tank up before leaving and reset the trip odometer. My 96 Aspire did pretty well round trip of 340 miles from Fort Myers to Miami South Beach and other stops. I did have the a/c on during the day and averaged 65-70 mph on the I-75, when I came back to Fort Myers and filled the tank it took only 9.190 gallons to fill. I averaged 37 mpg. My question here is if I did not run the a/c how many more miles could the Aspire have gotten per gallon? Thank You for your time.
