A lot of myths about air con & its affect on mpg.

I leave mine on permanently. I thought it was bad for the compressor to be off for lengthy periods. I also find AC more useful when it's raining - no more steamy windows |

air con also dehumidifies the car as well as cooling in summer

Anything attached to the engine will result in reduced mpg, it's simple physics and why when car manufacturers quote horse power figures they are for stripped down engines on a dynamometer with no water pump, alternator, air con, gearbox or anything. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I've had my FL2 nearly a month now and am loving it but have been really surprised how low the MPG is I'm getting on my first tank. So far I'm at 25.8 mpg. I admit that most of the miles have been short journeys between 2-5 miles in general but was hoping to get closer to the urban figures. All said though I only do 6-7000 miles per year normally so not the end of the world |

My old driving instructor back in the 70's once said that there are two important pedals on the car,

Had my Freelander a month now and very surprised at mpg thought it would be worse, My trip to work is 17 miles each way on A roads and averaging 40mpg with aircon on all the time. |

According to the dash readout I'm getting 32mpg, thats a few short round town type trips a week and the occasional long run out (normally about 1hr round trip, motorway & some country roads), maybe once a week, twice at most. I don't think thats too bad, i got it up to 37 when I did a long run a few weeks ago (reset the average before I left) |
