About how much will running the air conditioner affect gas mileage?
For a long time I'd only turn on the vent and let the window about halfway down, and hardly ever ran the air to save gas. When I was getting shotty gas mileage anyway, I finally said f@ck it, and have since been running the air. I don't run it in town, and I wait til I'm crusing up to about 55 mph. before turning it on.
So far, I can't tell that it's lowering my mileage any. I haven't filled up a tank of gas and seen how many miles I can get out of it yet, but so far I can't tell a difference in the rate in which the gas meter falls.
