Wow, A/C sucks!

But with 90+ degree F summer temps, I need it. I have noticed my FE has dropped a good 5-6 mpg over the last 2 tanks because of it (and because I had to sit a few times with the ICE on to keep it running so my 7 mo old nephew could stay cool).

Is it normal for other cars to see such a dramatic drop in FE with the A/C? Just when I got proud of myself for getting a 28 mpg hwy '96 VW Golf up to 38-39 mpg per tank by coasting with the ICE on, my last two tanks dropped back down to 33-34 mpg. I've lost almost 16% over the last month!
