Even Worse Fuel Consumption

[J50OBY]

I knew that Air Con worsened fuel consumption but I didn't know by how much.
So I did a test. At 78 mph (true) over 250 miles on autoroute without Air Con I got 32.7 mpg.
With Air Con I only managed 28.8 mpg - a 12% hit.
Does that sound about right?

Doesn't sound right. I get 40mpg Bristol to Copenhagen with Air Con.

I get around 40 on motorway runs with aircon on, but tend to sit at 70 mph.

I don't even get 22mpg

 

[Andyk]

I get 22 towing a caravan...

30mpg UK averaged on 186000km

 

[jarocki]

I get around 10.5km per Litre. JDM 2.0 VMG problems.

I’ve see my mpg go down once on the motorway at 70mph. I see 40mpg as a very good run

If you look through my build thread, youll see i replaced all service items and even cleaned the carbon build up out of the the inlet. Very simple to do and made a small improvement.
Anyone wanting to improve bhp, could do this to see if it helps.
