mpg a/c

Does not using the a/c increase MPG, with the windows up?

Reword that so it makes sense. The way that is worded has me all confusled.

My brain hurts...what does that even mean?

Yeah i read that again after 8 hours of sleep and it still don't make sense.

i dont know if not using the ac will improve the mpgs. gas engines yes thats a big one but im not sure on diesels.


i wouldnt idle a diesel that long anyway....unless the ac was running and theres stuff or people in the cab, then i dont care. but if the ac isnt working, i wouldnt be using it till its repaired to save the ac compressor.

Here's Jarrod trying to make sense of it too, and possibly WAAAAY off what the OP was looking for.

[xyzzy]

windows up and AC on full blast is better on MPG than leaving the windows down at highway speeds.

So, now knowing it made no sense, what was your actual question?
