Air Con and MPG

[Chris`I]

I'm in the same mindset now mine isnt a daily driver. Just fill it up when it needs it and go drive

Best way to be

 

I used to run with the a/c off in the Zed for most of the time, but on the Pork I leave it on all the time. I have no idea why my attitude has changed, if anything you;d have thought it would be the other way around trying to save a few pennies to run the more expensive car! It's always on in my truck though, that thing steams up so quickly otherwise for some reason.

What is it with nissans and condensation?? lol I see lots of them with steamed up windows, my m8 also told me they get it quite bad, he worked for a dealer. Only ever seen nissans with it though

Is your direct injection? If your probably getting about the same if not better than the zed?

Much better, I used to get bang-on 23mpg with the Zed but I'm getting around 28-30mpg now on the same roads

That's not really good tbh. It anyone says tu shouldn't have bought a Z for the mpg then il recommend them a 911.

Must be that we are always up to no good in them

[spursmaddave]

Totally agree on the condensation

 

So it's Air Con on pretty much all the time for me as I said...

 

Also agree on the poor MPG round London, I did a 30 mile trip to RT Performance today and look what I got

 

 

Glad that isn't my daily commute, mainly as I would need 2 jobs to pay for it and would have to leave 2hrs early to get to work on time

I never have my air con on apart from in the summer when we occasionally get a hot day. I get between 27-31 mpg and that is a mixture of eco driving on motorway and around town. My dailly commute is 40 mile so I have to drive economically. At the weekends I probably get well below 20 mpg lol. Cant say I have seen any difference when the air con is on though!
