real-world mpg differnces with a/c on or off

#1 by jonnyboy54321 , Tue Nov 03, 2015 6:50 pm

Guys, can i ask if anyone has monitored how their MPG is affected by having air con on and again with it off?

All will become clear as to why I am asking once I know a bit more about the effect it has....

Thanks

it does put more load on the engine yes so it will use more fuel but if the windows were open it would probably be about the same

its a 3 tone truck anf fuel econemy aint there strong point er actually I dont think these trucks have a strong point really

Doesn't seem to make a lot of difference on mine , never appears to change much from empty, full or towing or ac on towing

I don't use air con..but,I know on the rare occasions I have,it makes little as no difference at all..I don't have mpg figures but,it's very negligible.
