All one has to do is turn the AC on and feel the immediate lug on the
engine.  Anybody in tune with their vehicle will know there is quite a bit
of power loss involved, therefore a loss of MPG.  Open the windows at 60
MPH, you don't feel the engine start to drag the same as if you turned on
that AC.

Geez....
