Pulse and Glide in an auto while using A/C!
The weather is warming up down here in the South! We've already had a few warm days. In the past I haven't used my A/C much to really get some good mpg in the summer. I just sweat some. I tried an experiment. I P&G about 95% of the time.
The experiment!
Cycle the A/C on only when the car is in gear and I'm accelerating( I usually speed up to 60 and coast down to 50) turn A/C off then put the car in neutral coast down then repeat.
My results!
Day 1 fairly warm say high 80s. 15 miles to work I averaged 43 mpg and I didn't sweat!
Day 2 not as warm say low 80s. Same drive I averaged 40 mpg
Results per SGII
