So while gliding the AC costs me 0.4 gph but under load it only costs me 0.2 gph.

did you do this while maintaining the throttle position, or cruising at a steady speed?
just thinking, if you were holding the throttle steady while accelerating, when you turned on the a/c you may not be able to perceive the car accelerating at a slightly slower rate.
