how many ppl here drive with their AC on all day?? i dont drive with my AC on much because i had bad experiences with my previous cars. i only drive with it on recently with the humidity feeling like it's 100+. so do alot of you guys drive with the AC on?

 

......crickets.......

 

I drive with it on all the time, but when it gets really hot here in SoCal, my car ruff idles. But only in city driving.

 

I've had the car for a year and I have never used it. Not once. Don't even know if it works. But it's getting really hot here in the Northeast, so I may have to break bown one of these days.

 

I use it when its really hot but usually windows down cuz when its idling and I have it on it tends to sound really gay inside my engine bay.

 

I run with it on when its hot outside (like right now), all the time. Never once had a problem except with the noticable loss of power.

 

lately with the heat, i've been using it all the time. what kind of "bad experiences" have you have from using the a/c? did you get raped or something?

 

one some really hot days i do run it all day, I can notice the gas depleating much quicker.

on another note. I can't seem to drive it smooth with AC on though, i'm just not used to reving up over 1000rpm when start in first gear. I keep doing the same thing to move with the AC on, which is just blip the thottle little so it stays 800~1000rpm and release the clutch. That ends up with jerky motion when starting with AC on.

 

I use it all the time when its hot or humid. I just turn it off it I need to accelerate fast because it sucks too much power.

 

With the recent record-breaking heat-wave here in socal (for more info, visit http://www.cnn.com/2006/WEATHER/07/2....ap/index.html), I've had to have my A/C on ALL THE TIME


Normally though, I've seldom used the a/c--only usually whenever i have to use freeways

 

A lot of people run their AC all day and don't even know it. They're the ones that put the heater control on defrost and leave it there.

 

I only use it it its raining out and I cant keep my windows open or on really long road trips

 

I use it all the time when my kids are in the car with me. It sucks though. It's harder to drive when the AC is on also. Seems like the rpm drops much faster and the clutch engagment changes if the AC is on. I well at least the kids are cool and calm.

 

I will run my a/c on the way to work then on the way home windows down.

a/c + boost = $70 a week in gas

 

i use it all the time. if i need some more power then i just shut it off
