Ford Escape 2006:: Air-con ruins fuel economy
Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 17 Feb 2011

The V6 Escape is renowned for its thirst, but a 35 per cent increase in consumption when you run the air con does seem excessive. Have the air-conditioning system checked to make sure it is charged, check the compressor to make sure it is not faulty, and have an air-con specialist check the whole system.
