Theres even been proven record on these forums
from a member doing cross-country trips
that A/C DOES infact alter mileage. duh. the engine has to work more - especially the fact that its a wittle 4 cylinder. but besides that - there was a max of 5 mpg difference in running with the AC on and without the AC on.

there were also LARGE jumps in mileage from driving 80mph highway compared to 60mph.
(about a 6-8 mpg difference)

its possible for us ALL to get 40 mpg and more.
anything around the 35mpg range (unless you do mostly city driving) you need to change your driving habits.
