Hello
In terms of air conditioning, most cars have this
just talk to a car salesman to know that it is no longer an (option) but a serious sales argument!
On my 3 cars they all have air conditioning, on the 300D it lacks gas and as it is freon 12 which is only found on the black market, I do without.
For the lumberjack remark, it is true that the difference in consumption is minimal, the figures that I gave you for consumption of smoteur 3,8 with panton this was done in summer on cars automatic transmission and without regard if I use air conditioning, but when it's hot I use it as needed.
I think that on a large engine, the fact of using air conditioning or pumping on the alternator at a certain speed, which is probably too lightly charged, has little influence on consumption.
A small motor which is used in its good load with good output when it is asked a supplement its consumption increases.
When I say that I make 8,5 liters with a 3,8 liter engine automatic transmission and vehicle that weighs over 1,700 kq and that when I do the tests it is mainly in the heart of summer with the air conditioning which is automatic the temperature is pre-adjusted that leaves on demand. Nobody believes me!
By cons the same vehicle used in the fall, the air conditioning does not work, it consumes more, and in town I dare not say it is around 15 liters and more in winter.
When knowing the influence of the weight on consumption, it is true in urban use acelleration and braking or in conditions of dimensions, but in use flat highway only inside or to 5 people and luggage, it is not even measurable if there is differrence ..
I wonder if this car was manual transmission without air conditioning and light what figure would come out on consumption.
On the Tachometer I have 1800 rpm at 100kmh ..
I remember having had a WV cocelle 1500cc loaned to help me out, it easily consumed its 9 liters per 100km.
I ask myself questions about the displacement versus the consumption?
I think that your government should abolish its tax system with these fiscal CVs which in short does not want anything in the rest of the world, but it should encourage the manufacturers to make economic cars, without putting constraints of cubic capacity. an engine must have a power adapted to the vehicle, an underpowered engine in too large a vehicle consumes more than a more powerful engine, we check it many times on the American GM or Ford vehicle, since there was a range of engine available in the same vehicles .. 4 in V6 or V8 lines. The findings that we make with a smaller engine is that its consumption in town is more favorable, but on the highway it is the big engine that is more favorable.
