bkrell is an unknown quantity at this point
I have a Scangauge but haven't hooked it up to the Fit. I've kept it in my CR-V since it doesn't have any sort of MPG readout. I've tried watching the effect of a/c on mpg with the stock instant gauge but it's too inprecise. I've had discussions with an a/c specialist who said in most systems there actually is a benefit to keeping low fan speeds vs. using high beyond the electric load. He said that the compressor stays off on cycles longer b/c there's less effort required to keep the temp at 33 f degrees?
