i alwayws wondered how well the "A/C" mode in my 2000 contour saved energy over "Max A/C" mode. i notice that it doesnt blow as hard and its not as cold so there must be a significant energy gain when you switch over to A/C.
also, i wondered how much using the air conditioning affected the gas mileage of my car as opposed to having it off. i used to own a neon and using the A/C would nearly cut the gas mileage in half. man i am glad i got rid of that P.O.S!
