A/C on, windows up your MPG should be slightly higher than A/C off, windows down. However, windows up, A/C off will be higher than either of those.

2.2 5 speed. I average 25-26 with my "local" driving and 29-30+ highway with A/C running. I've hit well into the 30's several times on rural roads with the A/C running.

I've gotten that good from day 1. Best readout I've gotten on a fillup is 545 till empty. Last tank I think it said 515. I only use 87 and buy what ever is around me. No particular brand. Sonoco is in it right now. I always check the mileage with a calculator and bounce that off the DIC.

Pretty much any vehicle will see 1-2 mpg loss running a/c. I'll take the comfort over the miniscule savings w/o.

It may be getting less because of the ethanol in most gases now.
