Typically it will improve the mpg, but you tend to drive it harder as you've got more power so it offsets it!
Cab's are quite weighty so they're never going to be frugal really. |

It sounds like one of the solenoids which controls the flaps which direct temperature has failed.
They're typically about £90 odd, but you really need a scan to establish which one is faulty. |
