I try not to use the a/c in stop and go; but, if it's just a day around town, I'm cranking that.

Update - maybe I did get a couple bad batches of gas. I've noticed that my mileage today and yesterday on the highway, both with ac on and off, was significantly better than my last tank which was 318 miles. The needle has barely moved from the full mark and I've already squeezed almost 60 miles out of the tank. Plus, it is so much cooler now, so I think that's part of the cause, too.
This is true. I had an old Chevy truck with a clutch driven cooling fan, no seperate electric AC fan like on the ZHP's. That thing was a PIG with the AC on. I put dual Flex A Lite electric fans in place of the stock clutch fan and what a difference! Not only did I pickup 1.5 mpg more but I could idle all day with the AC on in the desert heat.
Makes a difference when it's this hot!
