Hot air coming from vents.

just turn on recirculate. if you don't crank the AC, you wont use that much extra gas by having recirculate on. people blow out of proportion how much gas mileage is affected by AC. if you're in your 30k+ sports car, and your legs are hot, because the vents, don't try and save money by not turning on the AC, at least on recirculate.

I dunno... when I turn on the A/C on my Tacoma truck the thing lurches forward like I dropped anchor. Its noticeably down on power when the A/C is cranked on a hot day. Seems silly to use the A/C on a roadster just to keep the feet cool.....
