AC drag (or not) 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Bond. James Bond. on  Sat Apr 23 17:35 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My two data points:

1. 1980 wagon, K-jet, York compressor: Minus one mile per gallon, city and 1.5 miles per gallon highway, when running the AC full-time.

2. 1992 wagon, LH 2.4, Kiki rotary compressor: Can't tell any difference, city or highway. I spoze there has to be SOME difference--but if I burn a full tank on the Interstate during a long trip, winter or summer the fuel consumption comes out the same.

Of course, your mileage may differ.
