[QUOTE="95BlackGA, post: 3009014, member: 576452"] Put it this way, turn your car on, without the A/C on, let it get to idle speed, about 1 minute after you get the car to idle speed, turn the A/C on, listen to the motor, it does a slight sound, kicking on the A/C compressor (I think this is what I am meaning to say), and then the car goes back to idle RPMs (It only puts about 50RPMs more/less to turn this on.) Once that is on, the A/C compressor's belt is still driven by the same belts as all the other components in the car. So, it doesn't use any more gas than any other time, with it being on or off. Just turning it on and off rapidly would you see the SLIGHTEST decrease in MPG. [/QUOTE]
