U wanna know. Study it while in traffic. U go know say ac on in own na lil stress to engine so more gas must burn. But on highway no shaking.

laivwire:
I agree with your findings Op. I once read moving fast with the windows down causes more drag and more fuel than with windows up. Besides the engine we know today is yet to be so efficient so reduce some of the wasted energy by using the AC.

Atvlow speeds or on stand still, you will definitely use more fuel. Easy to know. During the hot Abuja heat, I seat in the car, turn on the AC and watch my gas mileage dramatically rise to outrageous numbers.

Not enough data (airtime) to research and revert back on this topic.

HeavenlyBang:
There are probably scientific tests for these but the variables are too much. On paper, though, yes, driving in traffic with windows down and AC off, then at high speed with AC on and windows up will almost definitely give you the best fuel economy.

However, is the inconvenience worth it?

yesloaded:
Using Ac will consume fuel than glass down because ac is additional workload on engine. Btw, on high-speed amount of fuel consumption is reduced but glass down in traffic and ac on top speed to me is complete waste of time. I use ac most times and I've never compared it with when glass is down.

last 2 times I had alternator issues with Es300, solution was to run a new ground wire from alternator body to battery Negative.

For the explanation above, there is a correction .


Put voltmeter positive lead on battery positive Negative and negative on alternator body

DMechy:
Is the battery mil light on while car is running?

13.5 -15v for a loaded system is great.

How did you do your load test?

Right way:
- Keep all accessories on.
- Raise RPM to 2 to 2.5 very important
- Test the voltage at the battery terminals.

Things you should check.
- Your alternator belt, is it well tensioned.
- You already talked about having good grounds

Test this.
* All accessories on, ac, wiper, radio, headlamps
* Vehicle rpm steadied between 2 to 2.5
- Put voltmeter positive lead on battery positive and negative on alternator body.

Anything above 0.1 volts indicates a bad ground.

In Québec and Toronto, I pay $49.95/mo for unlimited home internet plan (comes with tv). My prepaid subscription for mobile comes with 1G which I don't get to use these days cause I'm either at home, at work, at a friend's place or somewhere where there's WiFi for public consumption like restaurants, train stations, salons, etc.

I don't really think you'd get a good understanding of internet cost by just looking at the purchasing prices in different countries cause economy also matters. Money is what money can buy and figures alone don't say much. For example, you'd need to know what people earn as income in these countries, the cost of other things in the country, etc. before you can say if something is really expensive or not.
