I always noticed a bigger difference with in town driving. On the highway i get 28-29 mpg driving in 70-90 mph range. The higher draq of having the windows down and the air off is about the same as having the windows closed and the compressor on. Around town... rather just put the windows down and air off, I don't like the throttle response with the air on, and sometimes fuel mileage drops to around 20 mpg instead of 22-23 mpg.

Anywhere from 29-31 in hot weather going 70 - no faster - AC on, windows up, no happy foot. Around town which is still a lot of highway were I live, I get 23-25 if I pussyfoot about.

I'm about 30 highway, 20 in town (more on accelerator I admit) but can't tell that a/c changes it all that much. This car gets better mileage than the other two I have so I'm happy no matter what it is.
