Default Weird gas mileage

In town I am averaging about 16.5 MPG I am not thrilled about it but it looks like that is in line. Here is the weird part. With temperature being in between 85-100F in AZ already, , I am running my A/C.Now I am getting 17.5MPG. My understanding is with the air on, GPH should go down? Going on a round trip of 700 miles of freeway driving for the first time since getting the car. I will be able to see hi way mileage

You should get better mileage With your AC on in your windows rolled up versus AC off windows rolled down. Air drag is a mileage killer with your windows down
