Air conditioner really kills mileage

[Arragonis]

Arrgh that C1 - I'm off to wash my eyes out with bleach....
(disclaimer - do not do this at home kids, its a joke)

I meant that a C1 is less of a girliewagon if its chipped (i.e. faster - all things are relative, I also mean 'less slow') but even then it probably won't match a blumotion for go.

But I suspect it would get better MPG, and it would also fall apart much faster as Polos are made from Kryptonite and Citroens from Playdough.

Of course when I say 'made' and Citroens I actually mean that some parts are randomly moved closer together somwhere in Poland and eventually called a car. If it stays in one piece then Peugeot claim it as one of theirs, otherwise they let Citroen sell it.

I have a confession, I'm even considering a Nemo Multispace / Bipper TeePee / Qubo Multijet instead - mainly so I can get bikes in.

But those go 0-60 in more time than your Corsa. In fact I think I will need a sundial, or in the case of the PSA ones a calendar.

Off topic Cyprus is on my list of places to go sometime soon - which part are you in ?

PS I found where your C1 pic comes from.

Civic CX is about 4mpg

On my Matrix it drops MPG by about 5 during steady state 55MPH driving.

So I have an apartment, and since the beginning of summer my internet kind of turned to crap. dropping randomly or just going really slow(like a ping time of 1000ms to Google using basic ping). Called Time Warner Cable (unfortunately my cable provider) a lot. they came at least 10 times since about may. Exchanging and replacing switches/cables/modem, EVERYTHING), still wasn't working. But over the weekend my roommate went out of town and I turned off the air cause his dumb *** likes to keep the thermostat down to about 70. And when I turned it off the internet was fine, no dropping, as soon as the air came on again, I dropped. And I guess the whole apartment complex started complaining to Time Warner Cable about it. So HOW is it that the air conditioner can affect my cable internet and how the hell can I fix it, cause time warner and the apartment complex have no idea.

^^^ Sorry, but I missed how this effects your milage

[Weather Spotter]

I missed that part as well. Do I report or not.... not yet but my eyes are watching

Freeway at 65 MPH -24.5
Freeway at 65 MPH with aircon -23.2

Not sticking to the steering wheel and the rest of my black interior in the heat of summer - priceless

Before I hit the submit button, I just realized that priceless actually equals .148 gallons of fuel per hour, which at $3.00/gallon, is roughly 44 cents per hour. While not free, it beats feeling all slimy from driving in the heat without aircon.
