I just finished a 2 week vacation that covered 800 miles over the Washington Cascades and through the Olympic Peninsula. I drove with the ACC set to 66F in Auto mode in 85F weather at mainly speeds of 50-80 mph.
According to SID I averaged 30.5 MPG for the trip. Per my calculations, I figure 30.2 MPG for the trip. Either way, I will trade 1-2 MPG for the cool comfort.
