Hey everyone!
I just got back from an 800+km trip.
I have the PLX Kiwi monitoring my mpg.
On the last leg of my journey, I decided to play around with my A/C.
I noticed that on a consistent flat road, when I turned on my a/c, my instantaneous mpg went down between 4 and 6 mpg. (depending on the road)
I am totally a newb. At tech school we were taught that a/c didn't take away power or mpg. This blew my mind!
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Also, I challenge you to find the flattest road you can and set your cruise and test it. A/C on and off. See what your mpg does.
Thanks for being patient if this is a total newb question!
