Question AC and loss in gas mileage

I'm driving a 2003 civc coupe and I'm living in Arizona, I know it hotter than hell here but I've been having issues with my AC. Honda told me that my system was normal and also that the compressor turns off when the car thinks I need more power. It's a manual fyi. The flippin thing takes forever to turn back on sometimes even though I click the AC button on and off. I know civic's have a reputation for not so great AC and I just got the entire AC system replaced 1 year ago too. ALSO, I got an AEM SRI awhile back and was still riding with the stock spark plugs and I was getting 320-340 miles before I had to fill up. Recently, I got a SUN AUTO hyper voltage system and NGK iridiums. I can definitely notice better performance from my car but now I have to fill up at around 280! I thought they were suppose to improve my damn mileage? Oh well...

JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS
