Hey everybody,

with the fuel prices absolutely rocketing out of control, i was just wondering how much difference in the fuel does it make if you drive with your air conditioning on continuously? Does it make a huge difference?

I can't drive at all without the aircon on, as the windscreen steams up terrible, even if i turn aircon off half way through the journey it still seems to steam up. does this happen to anyone else?

cheers

sam

Have you tried cleaning your windscreen lol. Do you have air circulation on? - turn it off. I think petrol consumption increases about 15% with the aircon on.

Agreed, but it's about 50% with the ST.
If you're steaming up it's because you have recirc on.
