Inverter and gas milage

Post by ullbergm »

Just curious if anyone has figured out how much running the inverter will hurt your gas milage.When i left my second inverter (regular radioshack inverter plugged in to the cig lighter) on all the time it looks like it lowered my gas milage a lot. But im not sure since i didn't keep up with what type of driving i had been doing.
