There is no way turning the AC off will get you 2 more MPG. Your 6000cc engine will hardly notice the extra load.

The reason nobody believes you is because we have done the same tests and not found any improvement in mpg. I run Mobil 1 in my car and didn't notice an improvement, and I put a K&N filter in my bike and got no improvement. I got the K&N long ago; before I learned they are crap.

The reason nobody likes reading your posts is because your sentence structure, punctuation, and formatting is atrocious.
