Though my fuel economy tanks when running the AC. I don't know whether i trust the instant MPG gauge, but the different between AC on and off is at least 6 mpg. I have no statistical evidence, but I feel like I started to use at least 25% less fuel when the temps dropped to 70 around here and I keep the windows down.
I reckon your instant MPG gauge is ah messen wich you ...... if it shows you 6 MPG between the A/C being on of off .....
