theres major drag from a stop in the manual with the AC on. it dips so bad b4 it gets somewhat acceleration. i usually use my AC with people in the car, and if its me i never use it. but these past few days whEwWWw this Tx heat is no joke, so i turned it on while almost on E haha i've made it far too

i drove 350 miles and i am between the middle bar and the bar underneath it with ac on the whole 5-6 hours.

im a 6 speed btw.

seems that the a/c barely affects anything on the hwy. gas mileage and city driving isn't as friendly

on a side note, does anyone know why when driving dbw w/ a/cthat the rpms like to drop much faster between shifts?

I have ot disagree ith the majority here. I use my Max for work (Sales Rep) and I see a quite a change in my gas budget in the summer months.

Right now $20.00 gets me by for two days. In the winter it will get me by for nearly three days.

Many factors will change gas mileage, heat, cold, tire pressure, cars with poor maintainence , driveing style, mods like intakes, bigger exhaust etc, i get nearly 500+ miles on a full tank via highway driving, but city its alot lower. i did not notice much diff with the ac on .

well I usually put the A/C on when I am going above 45mph and keep the windows open below that, so I haven't seen much of a change. 500 miles to the tank?? the closest I have gotten to that with conservative highway driving is 400 miles. this summer I have been averaging around 350 miles to the tank with about 40/60 highway/city conservative driving, which aint too bad(in my 5th gen).
