So if the air con is turned OFF the MPG is increased, better than being in ECON mode?

Not showing off,  but it is where I live, lots of hot days! 2nd place in the British Isles sunniest places to that other island close to France, known as "Jersey".

We dont talk about that Island though, its inferior to Guernsey.....

I Know Econ = A/C

but what does the Dual button actually do? Earlier cars don't have one, but it is a dual system anyway.


Loyal owner since 2005, done with remapping, I drive a Golf not a Veyron. (hypocrite)

Hehe, 35mph speed limit here on an island 6 miles x 9 miles. Nowhere to blast the GTI (legally....)

By the way, a lot better MPG now I'm using Super Unleaded!

I think when ECON is on AC is completely off. The OFF button turns the whole system off, fans included. No AC = up to 10% better fuel economy  :wink:

Thats correct, OFF is off, ECON is compressor off only - so no air cooler than ambient temp.
