For what it's worth (and as I noted in the "other thread" on this), I have observed the A/C on/off seems to have zero impact on driving the car in terms of gas mileage. Here is my monthly average from 2012 until now. AC usually used May through September, rarely October through April.

Over 80% of this is commuting miles (same path, same fueling stations) so it's a relatively valid comparison. Months with high peaks are months I'm most likely to take road trips in the car.
