Air conditioning uses a compressor to chill the freon that cools the air. The compressor requires a good bit of power to run- and places an additional load on the engine. This requires the engine to burn more fuel, and your gas mileage decreases. There is no free lunch- the power to run that compressor had to come from somewhere, right?
