Seems the A/C really drops the mileage, maybe 15-20% or more. With daytime
temps running close to 110 degrees, the A/C runs almost constantly and fan
speed is almost always high.
However, the car does stay quite cool and comfortable. Just the mileage
take a big hit. Must be running off the main battery more than the gas
engine.

What speed? 55? That sounds about right for me under the same conditions
at that speed.
