3.3TT Whack mpg?

FYI, on Kia's the compressor is turning all the time, there is no clutch as in many other makes/models of cars. The compressor is a VDC (Variable Displacement Compressor) type, that uses an internal mechanism to change the amount of travel the piston moves based on demand. When the A/C is not on, the piston does not travel up and down.
Also note, in colder weather you might use the defogger/defroster, and if so, the A/C compressor will run to dehumidify the air.

Some stingers still use magnetic clutches. not sure which ones. but the manuals all list both options.




The variable swash plate type use external control valve. But both are listed
