Does keeping AC on reduce fuel average in Suzuki Mehran significantly?

When I drive with the AC on, my Mehran’s fuel average s sharply. Is this normal, o r could there be an issue with the AC o r engine load? How much fuel does the AC typically consume?

Yes, turning on the AC puts additional load on the engine, especially in a small-engine car like Mehran. It can cause:

10–20% in fuel economy depending on driving conditions

Even more if you’re in stop-and-go traffic Make sure your AC compressor is healthy, and drive with windows up at moderate speeds to reduce drag and improve efficiency slightly when using AC.
