running the AC eats/ consumes gasoline. As does running the defroster = which uses the compressor , but same kind of effect.

So does driving the car. I certainly agree that maximizing mileage is important if you passed that "next gas 250 miles" sign, but do people really worry about running the AC for mileage reasons normally?

It's funny, i've had cars where you turn the AC on and you feel that noticeable dip in power, almost like you gained a passenger in the car. The FRS for whatever reason can't really tell much. Cools pretty decently too though i figure the smaller-than-most cabin helps quite a bit with that.
@ humfrz love the NC! Have you tried an ND yet by chance? Interested to hear your thoughts. As nice as it is i still prefer the NC. |

I haven't even test driven an ND. I don't think I could get mrs humfrz back into a roadster ...... although she was a good sport, for over 80,000 miles, in our NC. Besides, with my FR-S, I have a "back seat" that I can toss my granddaughters into, to punish them ..... humfrz |

I can say yes to that. Normally or abnormally, I do both. Gas is gas, dollars and sense , it's all important. I've been known in my old Toyota 4x4 truck, to run the heat on ... while it was 100 degrees out. I did have the vents pointing towards the windows, and the windows were partly down

Back in the day, the only reason we would run with the heat on in the summer was to help cool the car if it was overheating ....... humfrz |

Yeah, to keep it as cool running as I could. I'd usually be hauling something , so every bit helped. I never over heated , never busted a upper/lower radiator hose, and that was random times.... summmer 100-105 degree heat, or winter... etc. , running the 3L V6 engine... from the early 1990s ,not the greatest Toyota V6 engine either

Sorry to bump an old thread, I forgot where exactly but I remember seeing a dyno graph of a mr2 turbo with a/c on and a/c off almost 10 years ago, I forget the exact numbers but IIRC, it dyno’d 160whp, with a/c it was around 130-140. I remember averaging it and it was about 30-40 whp loss from what I saw. I might actually test it when I dyno mine.
