Thank you much.
On my vehicle the fuel difference is about 0.5 ltr / 100 klm for air on and off.

Steady highway running is around 7.2 and with the air on it is around 7.7 l / 100 klms. (US mpg: from 7.2 (32.6) to 7.7 (30.5) so about 2 mpg) at around 90 kph (US 55 mph) which is just under the legal max of 100 kph (62 mph)

The car is a GM variant (Holden 2003 Acclaim sedan) with the 3.8 engine and the 4L60E trans. Weight is around 1600 kgs (3200 lbs US approx).

Peter.
