Utter ********. Takes very little. I've had several small engined cars

All that says is you are incapable of noticing the difference in
performance and MPG. Or perhaps you think the power to run the compressor

Fuel consumption increases when the A/C is on but but with modern engine
management the drop off in performance is barely noticeable, unless you
are pushing your engine to the limit.
