So your gas mileage dropped by 1 to 2% for "about 2 seconds" when you turn on the radio? How much do you lose in steady state?? And how fast were you going?
Also, alternators don't have clutches -- you are opening and closing loads in the electrical system and the voltage regulator is making up for it. |
