Just a late followup on this thread, since July I'm averaging 16.56mpg with mostly city driving. Pretty heavy use of air-conditioning this summer, especially during July and August. I got tired of 'ballparking' my mileage and started tracking the hell out of it (see signature below) and actually tracking historical trends. I don't like the whole "I feel like my mileage is getting better... or worse". I want to know. I'm now keeping an Excel spreadsheet of mileage, linked to maintenance and mods. So after a given maintenance, be it aircleaner change, spark plug change, oil change what have you, I can trend before/after or overall. And I'll KNOW if I'm seeing anything change. INterestingly, during the time of heaviest air conditioner user, my mileage improved. Go figure. |

Do you tend to ride with windows open when the A/C is not running? On many cars that can have a definite impact on mileage depending on speed. |

So what settings on the heater/AC controls do NOT use the compressor? |

I would have guessed that the following setting would not use the compressor: Vents only Floor only Vents and floor Not to get off topic, but I seem to get very little air out of my floor vents, on any setting, but my vents really pump it out. Is everyone like this? |

This last week or so we've gotten alot of snow here, so 4wd was used. Filled up today (about every 2 weeks) and pen & paper calculated out to 12.1 mpg.

i average about 13 city. i havent taken it on an all out highway trip but it is my wifes and she uses it for everyday around town errands. 25mph to 50 max with nothing but a ton of lights and stop signs, and she is a little heavy footed. but anyway i was told that during the winter gas companies put in additives in places where the temps get really cold and this definitly effects mileage in a bad way. not sure if it is true but it would make sense cause before the lift and tires during the summer i was getting around 15.5 city. oh well i guess this is about average. i am thinking it is about time for a tune up and new plugs. |
