Default gas mileage

hey guys heres something i was wondering, i know you obviously get more mileage if you have all your things off - ie: stereo, subwoofers, lights, wipers, ac, heat, etc. , but my question is how great of a difference do you think they each make? in a full tank would it differ your mileage by 1-2 miles, 3-4 miles, 10-20, etc.

sorry if this is a dumb question.

yeah well, i couldn't find the answer to this question in any of those posts. you are indeed a jerk for making a comment hinting that im "_____ing" about something? I can't ask a question about how the tc works on a tc message board? im sick of all these people on here cussing other people out about reposts or not knowing how to use the search option. why can't you just ignore the posts altogether?

No need to get upset over any of this. Some people should just ignore a post that they don't care about like the rest of us do. Personally I pass on by all the thousands of posts about this rattle or that squeek because it got old to me. This guy seriously has a question and since this is a place to ask them, let him ask. If you don't like the question, then just don't respond.

Default I feel ya nizzle.

Dude, if you don't want to read about it...stop clicking the frigging topics titled "gas mileage". Shouldn't take you a whole week on the forums to figure that out...lol. By your logic, just about every topic has been posted about, so we should all just shut up and read the archives?

FWIW, I don't think running the electrical accessories amounts to any substantial loss in MPG. A/C, yes...but you knew that.

Yes, all of those things will cause the car to use more gas, but the difference should be insignificant.
