Doesn't the ac increase engine load...so its going to eat power thus fuel? Granted that it is going to burn less when you are not loading the engine...but still its hard on FE?
the reason they would use ac while coasting would be because your instant mpg is higher at that instance. pulse and gliding can be used with your ac. Basically run it til your comfortable than turn it off til your hot again. Either way your mpg's will still be impacted but not as much as if it was ran full time
