I hope that was a typo, because using the ac does NOT help with gas mileage. In fact, AC significantly decreases gas mileage.

No acually if you drive fast and have your windows down it uses more gas because you have so much drag

At speed AC is better than the windows down yes, but if you any accelerating you're just killing your gas mileage because it can be such a parasitic draw driving around town.

Ive never noticed?? I just keep it in the 0 (not in vac or boost) when driving around/taking off.
It was on Mythbusters. HEHEHE

that should be in the how NOT to save gas category lol...but yeah I did the same last night burnt $15 in gas just chilling, one real race(which i won against some integra) and just cruisin..couldn't believe the whole $15 was gone by time I got home, wow..i'm really getting worried about these prices man.
oh and one other way to make sure you're getting the best gas mileage is:
Make sure you're tires are properly inflated...mine were not and I filled em up last night.

Well, Im actually pleased at my cars milage so far. I thought it would be getting horrible milage because of piston ring. I raced my friend on Wensday night which was when I filled up with gas. Needle didnt move after that and we raced 2 times, not to mention a few boosted runs to make sure my car was worthy of racing.
Thursday I ran errands all day bu used my A/C. Friday I worked, the drive to and from work is a good amount. Again, the A/C was on. After I got out I drove around for about 2 hours and went to a local hang out.
Saturday I worked also, used the A/C. Got out of work and went to our car meet. Got some races set-up and raced a few times. I now have a half tank. Not bad Id say. Probably add some $3.20 premium fuel on Tuesday.
